Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Pick a serving style
The pans are frequently set up where guests can see them, and it makes a great photo.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- A safe distance from anything that could catch

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

For planners, venues and organisers

Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. For a summer wedding in Boxford, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Check the venue allows live cooking
