Mayes Green questions
Do you come out to small places like Mayes Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
Yes. We can do canapés, tapas, the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes. We are happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.

Desserts
To finish: Spanish desserts or your own cake.
Paella wedding breakfast

Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Choose pan-side or table service
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we will adjust the cooking so the paella is served at its best.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat.
