Why choose live paella in Longwick?
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. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
- Count day and evening guests separately

Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
