Why live cooking beats a buffet
Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Larger events normally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

The process
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. For a summer wedding in Burcott, the sun sets at about 9:25pm 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. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
