Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Enquire early for peak dates
We generally set up where guests can watch, and it makes a great photo.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.
Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
About the dishes
Evening paella
Evening paella is hot, filling and fun.
Table tapas
Tapas set out on every table to share, from bravas to croquetas and Manchego.
Planning the cooking area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s served at its best. For a summer wedding in Bockmer End, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan each course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans

Questions from Bockmer End

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. Find your area.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
What if photos overrun?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day and time the rice so it is served at its best.

If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Separate paella pans cover every diet. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
