Step by step
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. In Arnos Grove, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
On the day, we liaise with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you don’t have to.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
What we need at the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
As a London location, Arnos Grove is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
