How it works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. At midsummer, sunset in Ashmansworth is about 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.

What else we do in Ashmansworth
Questions from Ashmansworth
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How far is Ashmansworth from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Can paella feel formal?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
Yes. We can do canapés, tapas, the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, West Berkshire included. Find your area.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Planning the cooking area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
