Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

For event organisers in Bradenham
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
How the day works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Bradenham, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
Ask for a quote
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Paella compared with other options
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and suits a relaxed style. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Bradenham: your questions answered
Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Botolph?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
What if photos overrun?
It happens. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it is ready when you are.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.

Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
