How the day works
On the day, 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 we time everything to your schedule. In Clifton, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Check the venue allows live cooking

Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
How we price wedding paella catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Travel, parking and access
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How many guests are eating
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- What the venue already provides
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The date and time of the event
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
