How it works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell generally draws people over. Golden-hour photos in Lane End at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Common questions in Lane End
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Lane End for guests?
The closest is High Wycombe station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes. We will speak to your venue about access and timings.
Can we try the food first?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain the options.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you cook inside?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
We can. We can do canapés, tapas, the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts.
DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
