For planners, venues and organisers
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.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Your questions about wedding paella catering in Barwell
What’s the nearest station to Barwell for guests?
The closest is Chessington South station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
Do you offer tastings?
Ask us about tastings when you get in touch.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes, it makes life easier. Introduce us and we will sort the details.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
Compared with formal catering, live paella is relaxed and sociable, but with the right extras it feels just as special. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
Why us?
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts

- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
Barwell is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. At midsummer, sunset in Barwell is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
