What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Count day and evening guests separately
On the day, we liaise with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you do not have to.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
What happens on the day
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand.

- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.

A closer look at the menu
Canapé tapas
Canapé tapas fill the gap before the meal, without spoiling appetites.
Paella wedding breakfast
The main event: paellas for every diet, served straight from the pan.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
