How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. For a summer wedding in Bramley, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Tell us when you want to eat

Paella compared with other options

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 is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
