- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Your questions about wedding paella catering in Church End
Can you cook in Victoria Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
We are having a ceremony at St Margaret's Church: can you cater afterwards?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
How much does wedding paella catering cost in Church End?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a price.
What if our speeches run late?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day and time the rice so it’s served at its best.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Introduce us and we will sort the details.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on how it’s served.
