About paella catering in OX13
Keep it simple, or go all out: paella on its own, or with canapés, table tapas, desserts and sangria. We will recommend what fits your event. Popular choices include paella Valenciana, mixed paella and seafood paella, and we are frequently booked for staff parties and work lunches and fairs, fêtes and festivals.
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell usually draws people over.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get a menu and an itemised quote.
- We agree timings, access and the cooking spot.
- On the day, we set up and cook in front of your guests.
- It is served straight from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.

Catering events across OX13

Kingston Bagpuize: Historic houses near Kingston Bagpuize include Longworth House (1.4 miles north-west) and Appleton Manor (3.3 miles north-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on caterers and cooking early. For a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St John the Baptist, a paella lunch or reception nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Planning an evening event in Kingston Bagpuize? Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; once it is dark, we need light to cook and serve by.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
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.
Planning the cooking area
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
What affects the price in OX13
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How many staff you need
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Which courses you have in mind
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The address or venue name
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Plan a meat, a seafood and a vegetable or vegan pan
- Let us know about other food at the event
- Have seats for most of your guests
Paella is best eaten as soon as it’s ready, so we plan service for when guests are ready to eat.
Bread, salad and lemon go well alongside.
Live paella or other catering?
Next to a hog roast or barbecue, live paella is easier for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests, because each paella has its own pan. It’s served quickly from the pan, so queues move.
What your quote should include
- How bad weather is handled
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether travel is included
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
