FAQs for Wissenden
How far is Wissenden from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Wissenden too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can the team help cook?

How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.

Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Should we have more than one paella?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.

Paella compared with other options

How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. December events in Wissenden are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Leave space around the cooking area
