Step by step
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your party. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. Sunset in Wootton is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Plan cover in case of rain

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. 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.

Questions from Wootton
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you come out to small places like Wootton?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Find your area.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Typically, yes, if there’s a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send us a picture of the space.
Live paella or other catering?
If you want special but not formal, live paella is hard to beat. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
