Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable

Paella compared with other options
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and suits a relaxed style. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
The menu, dish by dish
Canapé tapas
Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal.
Desserts
Spanish desserts from churros to crema catalana, or your cake as dessert.

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. In Bovingdon Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, 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 start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
How to prepare
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
