Why choose live paella in Berinsfield?
Compared with formal catering, live paella is relaxed and sociable, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Where we can cook in Berinsfield
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans

How the day works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. For a summer wedding in Berinsfield, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
