Frequently Asked Questions
Paella Experience
Chef Oscar comes to your chosen location and guides the group through preparing paella together. Guests discover useful cooking techniques, learn more about the flavours and traditions behind the dish and become part of the cooking itself. The experience is relaxed and social, with conversation, laughter and shared moments around the paella pan.
The core Paella Experience usually lasts around two hours. The final timing may vary depending on the group, the location and any additional dishes or elements agreed for the event.
Paella Experience works for a small number of guests as well as for intimate groups of up to approximately 15 people. Larger events are also possible. In that case, the format is planned individually and may combine participation by the guests with live cooking by Chef Oscar. There is no fixed minimum or maximum group size stated on the website.
Oscar travels to the location chosen for the event. The experience can take place indoors or outdoors — at a house or apartment, in a garden, on a terrace or balcony, or at another suitable private or event location. The details of the space are confirmed before the event.
Oscar brings the ingredients and portable cooking equipment needed to prepare the agreed paella. Starters or additional dishes for sharing can also be included when arranged in advance.
The experience can be planned with seafood paella, chicken paella or a vegetarian version. Guests are asked about allergies and dietary requirements before the event. Ingredients can be omitted or replaced where possible, and individual requirements are always discussed before the menu is confirmed.
Paella Experience can be organised for birthdays, anniversaries, family celebrations, gatherings with friends, hen parties, team-building events and business occasions. The format is adapted to the character and size of the event.
Each event is priced individually. The price depends on the number of guests, the location, the date and timing, the selected type of paella and any additional starters or sharing dishes. Send a booking request to receive an offer based on your event.
Workshops are conducted in English or Spanish. You can select your preferred workshop language when submitting your booking request.
Submitting a request does not confirm your booking and no online payment is taken at this stage. We will check availability and send you a personalised proposal. Your booking is confirmed after you accept the proposal and receive written confirmation.
Private Chef
Chef Oscar comes to the agreed location and prepares the meal on site. Before the event, the menu, number of guests, location, dietary needs and practical details are agreed directly with the client. Oscar usually selects and purchases the ingredients, prepares the dishes and presents the finished meal. The exact scope is confirmed individually for each event.
Oscar specialises in creative fusion cuisine inspired by Peruvian, Mediterranean, Spanish and Italian flavours. He also prepares fish and seafood dishes, vegetarian options and menus combining different culinary traditions. The final menu is created around the occasion, the guests’ preferences and the available cooking facilities. Not every cuisine or dish is always available.
The service can be arranged for a romantic dinner for two, an engagement, birthday, anniversary, gathering with friends, family celebration, hen party, private event, team gathering or business event. Other occasions can also be discussed individually.
It can be a dinner for two or an event for a larger group. There is no fixed universal guest limit. The possible number of guests depends on the selected menu, the kitchen and equipment available at the venue, the style of service and the practical conditions of the event. Larger events are assessed individually.
Oscar can cook in the client’s home or apartment, in a rented venue, or at another agreed location with suitable and safe cooking facilities. The kitchen, equipment and practical requirements are discussed before the booking is confirmed.
There is no single fixed duration. A Private Chef event usually requires several hours, but the exact time depends on the menu, the dishes selected, the number of guests, preparation requirements and the conditions at the venue. The estimated schedule is agreed individually before the event.
For most smaller private events, Chef Oscar purchases the ingredients required for the agreed menu. For large events or unusual arrangements, responsibility for purchasing and supplying products is agreed individually with the client in advance.
Allergies and dietary requirements must be reported when submitting the enquiry and discussed before the event. Where possible, ingredients or dishes can be adjusted or replaced. Every request is assessed individually according to the menu and the nature of the allergy or dietary requirement.
There is no single fixed price because every event is different. The quote depends on the number of guests, location, date, selected dishes, ingredients, preparation time and the overall scope of the event. The client should submit a booking enquiry first. After the enquiry is received, the menu, venue, schedule, allergies, dietary requirements and other details are agreed directly before the final quote and booking confirmation.
