About the dishes
Churros
All ages love churros.
Chicken & chorizo paella
Smoky, satisfying and popular with children, and a good choice for guests who do not eat seafood.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

How it works
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. For a late-May party in Stoke Lyne, sunset is around 9:00pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:30pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.

FAQs for Stoke Lyne
Which station should guests use for Stoke Lyne?
Bicester North station, about 3.4 miles south of the centre.
Is Stoke Lyne too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Typically. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Is my garden big enough?
Most gardens are fine. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. A picture helps.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
