Why live cooking beats a buffet
A buffet can leave food sitting out. Paella is served hot from the pan. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.

Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
If things run late, and we’ll adapt the timing so the paella is served at its best.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Cippenham
Which station should guests use for Cippenham?
The closest is Burnham station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Andrew's Shared Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
How many different paellas?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
What about pudding?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. In Cippenham, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have a level space ready for the pans
