Wedding paella catering near Sarre
The process
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. Golden-hour photos in Sarre at midsummer come around 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Let us know the timings for the day

Where we can cook in Sarre
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Is live paella right for your wedding?
A buffet can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

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.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
