About the dishes
Canapé tapas
Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal.
Paella wedding breakfast
The main event: paellas for every diet, served straight from the pan.
Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Whether you need crockery
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we are needed on site
- The number of people
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The courses you’d like
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The address or venue name
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
What we need at the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the day works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a summer wedding in Slindon, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
