Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. For a summer wedding in Highstreet Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

The menu, dish by dish
Table tapas
Bowls and boards set down in the middle of each table, from bravas to croquetas and Manchego.
Evening paella
Fresh pans for evening guests, quick to serve and filling.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Connect us with your coordinator
We clear our cooking area away afterwards; staff you’ve booked stay as agreed.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
