There is something special about a country wedding near Brooks Green, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Send us the running order and speech times
After service, we pack down our cooking area; any staff stay as long as agreed.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. In Brooks Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

Is live paella right for your wedding?
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Separate paella pans cover every diet. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
