Paella as evening food is popular: it’s hot, filling and quick to serve, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. Whether it’s barn and farm weddings and big weddings with every diet, we can cook canapé tapas, table tapas and evening paella.
Near Little Tew, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book: the menu, the staff and any extras.

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. In Little Tew, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan each course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.

Getting ready for the day
