Paella party catering in Poundon, made fresh on the day

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

Dishes our guests love

Tapas

Bravas, tortilla, croquetas and more to start.

Vegetable paella

A vegetable pan means vegetarians eat well, and meat eaters often try it too.

Questions from Poundon

Do you come out to small places like Poundon?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Which station should guests use for Poundon?

The closest is Bicester North station, roughly 4.1 miles away.

What happens if it rains?

We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.

Paella is popular with children, especially a mild chicken one. Let us know numbers and ages.

Can you do sangria?

Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

What do you need at the venue?

Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.

Do you bring plates and cutlery?

If you need them. Crockery or disposables are available.

Do you cook at halls and clubs?

Yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.

How it works

Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For a late-May party in Poundon, sunset is around 9:00pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
