How paella catering works in OX39
Two or three pans side by side cover every guest: meat, seafood and vegetarian or vegan paellas. Every pan is cooked on its own, so diets are easy to manage. We’re often asked to cater wedding breakfasts and evening food and summer garden parties, serving seafood paella, mixed paella and paella Valenciana.
Here’s how the day generally runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat.
- 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.
- We serve from the pan, then pack down.
What it costs in OX39
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.

Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Why live paella works
It suits relaxed, sociable events, with guests mingling as it cooks before sitting down to eat.

- Company summer parties
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:

Questions from OX39
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
How much does paella catering cost in OX39?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Does paella work for big events?
It is ideal. Big pans feed a lot of people, and service from the pan is quick.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
