Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Forty Green: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
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’s the nearest station to Forty Green for guests?
Beaconsfield station, about 0.9 miles east of the centre.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.
Do you offer tastings?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain the options.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How it works
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. For a summer wedding in Forty Green, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is normally 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.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan each course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
