Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Live paella or other catering?

Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Why book with us

  • Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
  • Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
  • Every diet catered for, pan by pan
  • Served hot, straight from the pan

Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

Diets, allergies and planning

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:

  • Pick a serving style
  • Send us the running order and speech times
  • Put us in touch with your venue
  • Enquire early for peak dates

Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, usually timed after the first dance.

Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.

How it works

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. For a summer wedding in Crowhurst Lane End, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. First, we check your date.
  2. You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
  3. We confirm everything with your venue.
  4. The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
  5. We serve and clear our cooking area.

Getting ready for the day

  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot
  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
