How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is served at its best. At midsummer, it is light in Wyck until about 9:20pm, perfect for canapés outdoors. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 4:00pm, are better indoors.

Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

FAQs for Wyck
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. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Wyck too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
Do you supply canapé staff?
Staff make canapés work, and we can provide them.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a price.
