Paella party catering in Towersey, made fresh on the day
We cater parties at homes, village halls with outdoor space, clubs and hired venues. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, mixed paella and seafood paella, and we’re often booked for wakes and celebrations of life and retirement celebrations.
A country party near Towersey is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

What happens on the day
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. For a late-May party in Towersey, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.

Towersey parties: what to know
Towersey is about 1 mile east of Thame, in Oxfordshire. We bring paella party catering to homes, gardens and venues in Towersey and nearby villages. We cook in all 443 towns and villages across Oxfordshire. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 13 miles away.
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St Catherine, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. Nearby historic houses include Adwell House (4.2 miles south-west). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Towersey is within about 6 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
We cater parties across OX9. Local streets include Lower Green, Thame Road and Windmill Close; a party at home on any of them works well with live paella. Close by, we cover parties in Kingsey (1 mile north-east), Thame (1 mile west), Emmington (2 miles south), Haddenham (2 miles north) and Sydenham (2 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Oxford (13 miles west), Bicester (14 miles north-west), Abingdon-on-Thames (15 miles west), Henley-on-Thames (15 miles south), Benson (11 miles south-west) and Chinnor (3 miles south).
Nearby you’ll also find Dinton Castle (4.3 miles north-east) and Thame Community Hospital (1.4 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Snakemoor.

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

Why choose live paella in Towersey?
Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And there is no host stuck at the grill. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Why us?
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts

Towersey questions
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Catherine: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know and we’ll add it to the quote.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Tell us how many children are coming.
