Danesfield questions
How far is Danesfield from London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
How our wedding paella catering works in Danesfield
Paella as evening food is popular: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so the party keeps going. We’re frequently asked to cater destination-style celebrations at home and sharing-style wedding meals, with table tapas, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
Near Danesfield, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated.

Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. In Danesfield, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally 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.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
