The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests usually gather round to watch while it cooks. In Knotty Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us where to park and unload

Wedding paella catering in Knotty Green, cooked live
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. We cook evening paella, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings with a Spanish theme and blessings and vow renewals.
A wedding in a small place like Knotty Green often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Send us the running order and speech times
