Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Paella catering in Pinner Green, cooked live

Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
- Request clear labels at the serving table
- Let us know about other food at the event
- Plan seating for most guests: paella is easiest eaten sitting down
A short rest after cooking helps, and that is when we invite guests up.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges make the meal go further and suit guests who are not big rice eaters.
How the day works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. Evenings in Pinner Green stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.
- Start with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with paellas to suit your guests, plus any extras.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and the cooking spot.
- We set up, cook from scratch and keep an eye on your timings.
- Guests are served from the pan, and our area is cleared afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

What’s in the pans
Black rice
Arroz negro is coloured and flavoured with squid ink, and is normally served with alioli. It makes a dramatic second seafood pan.
Paella Valenciana
In Valencia, the recipe is fiercely debated. The classic version is chicken, green beans and butter beans with saffron.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
