Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Pick a serving style
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables, whichever suits your day.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
Compared with formal catering, live paella is relaxed and sociable, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Questions from Chavey Down
We are having a ceremony at St Martin's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Chavey Down for guests?
The closest is Martins Heron station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you cater the whole day?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from the drinks reception to the evening.
How much does wedding paella catering cost in Chavey Down?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Can you supply plates?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Space, weather and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:

Step by step
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. In Chavey Down, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, 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.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan each course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
How to prepare
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
