DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

One spread covers many tastes and diets.

Weybourne questions
How far is Weybourne from London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of the Ascension?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Do you have vegetarian tapas?
Plenty are vegetarian, like tortilla and padrón peppers. Each dish is labelled.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Parking near the venue
- Permission from the venue
- Room on tables for sharing dishes
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
