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. In Wigmore, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.

FAQs for Wigmore
Is Wigmore close to London?
About 31 miles from central London.
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Teams often enjoy watching and asking questions. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
What about pudding?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.

The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What’s in the pans
Vegan and vegetarian pans
A real main for vegetarians and vegans, not an afterthought.
Canapé tapas
One-bite tapas served by staff.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we offer
- Paella lunches
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Bowl food
- Drinks service
- Desserts
- Canapé tapas
Live paella or other catering?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella just needs a suitable spot. 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.
