Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:

- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers

- Choose pan-side or table service
Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, normally timed after the first dance.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.
Questions from East Garston Woodlands
Do you come out to small places like East Garston Woodlands?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on how it’s served.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
Before you choose a spot
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

DIY paella versus live catering
