Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Count day and evening guests separately
Fresh pans can be cooked for evening guests, usually timed after the first dance.
Table tapas make a sociable starter.
What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Martins Heron, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan each course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
Before we arrive

Other catering in Martins Heron
DIY paella versus live catering
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 for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Martins Heron? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

Martins Heron station, in Martins Heron itself.
What if our speeches run late?
We plan for it. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it is ready when you are.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Is paella too casual for a wedding?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.

Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
How many different paellas?
