Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
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.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Live paella or other catering?
For a party that feels a little special without being formal, live paella is hard to beat. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.

Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Give separate numbers for children
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Let the neighbours know
When you are ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan.
Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep guests happy.
Wymering questions
Can you cook near the sea around Wymering?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
How far is Wymering from London?
About 62 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Portsmouth included. Find your area.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.

Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.
