York Town questions
Could we have live paella in Tekels Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Michael York Town: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

What’s in the pans
Paella Valenciana
In Valencia, the recipe is fiercely debated. The classic version is chicken, green beans and butter beans with saffron.
Vegetable and vegan paella
A slow sofrito, seasonal vegetables and a good vegetable stock make a paella that stands on its own. Vegan versions use plant-based stock.
