Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Share your running order, including speeches
Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, timed for after the first dance.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. Golden-hour photos in Hell Corner at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Common questions in Hell Corner
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Laurence?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is Hell Corner too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Do you offer tastings?
Tell us you’d like a tasting when you enquire, and we’ll talk you through 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.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Live paella or other catering?
Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with the right extras it feels just as special. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
