- A picture of where we’d cook

Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

A closer look at the menu
Table tapas
Bowls and boards set down in the middle of each table, such as patatas bravas, croquetas and Manchego.
Evening paella
A second round of paella for the evening, quick to serve and filling.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
What you get with us
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Fast service from the pan
- Drinks service on request

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Enquire early for peak dates
The pans are often set up where guests can see them, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. For a summer wedding in Shripney, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have a level space ready for the pans
