Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
How it works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell generally draws people over. At midsummer, sunset in Littleworth is about 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.

Paella compared with other options
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why Littleworth hosts choose us
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
Littleworth questions
Is Littleworth too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Could we have live paella in Shotover Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can paella feel formal?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
What if the timings change?
Tell us and we’ll adjust. We keep in touch with your venue on the day and time the rice so it is served at its best.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.

Canapé tapas
Canapé tapas fill the gap before the meal, without spoiling appetites.
Paella wedding breakfast

Space, weather and the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
