Questions from Ewelme
Do you come out to small places like Ewelme?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Yes. Include suppliers in your numbers.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes, it makes life easier. Introduce us and we will sort the details.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Connect us with your coordinator
If things run late, and we will adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
About the dishes
Paella wedding breakfast
Paellas for every guest, served hot and generous.
Table tapas
Tapas set out on every table to share, such as patatas bravas, croquetas and Manchego.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The paellas you choose
- Guest numbers
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The length of service
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Expected numbers
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with the right extras it feels just as special. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them

How the day works
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For a summer wedding in Ewelme, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
