Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Count adults and children separately

- Have cover ready for a shower
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with space kept clear around the burners.
Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep hunger at bay.
What paella party catering costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Guest numbers

Live paella works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:
- Garden parties and summer barbecues

Comparing caterers
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
- VAT, if it applies
- What the price includes, item by item
- Staff numbers and hours
Is live paella right for your party?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Why book with us
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- We cover Warborough and the whole of Oxfordshire
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
For event organisers in Warborough
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
How the day works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a late-May party in Warborough, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Warborough questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Lawrence?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Warborough too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Generally. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How early should we book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. We will check availability straight away.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
