Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London.

What space do you need to cook?

Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.

Planners, venues and businesses

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.

What happens on the day

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 while your guests chat. Sunset in Cade Street is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.

  1. First, we check the date and the space.
  2. You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
  3. We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
  4. The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
  5. We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.

Preparing for the day

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Check the venue allows live cooking

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
