Paella compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Paella covers them with separate pans. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

What happens on the day
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. For a summer wedding in Brockley Hill, 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 normally 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.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Choose pan-side or table service
If things run late, and we will adjust the cooking so the paella is served at its best.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
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.

FAQs for Brockley Hill
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Peter?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook in Edgwarebury Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
What about pudding?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from canapés to evening food.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
