Working with your venue

How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. In Pizien Well, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Before we arrive

Big or small, live paella works well. Typical bookings include:
- Parties after a register office wedding
- Weddings in a marquee or garden
- Weddings with lots of dietary needs
- Destination-style celebrations at home
Nearby historic houses include Old Soar Manor (3.5 miles west). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on caterers and live cooking.
Questions to ask before booking
- Plates, cutlery and napkins, or disposables
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- How bad weather is handled
- Staff numbers and hours
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
