Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Enquire early for peak dates
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.

How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests usually gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. In Stoke Hammond, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
How to prepare
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Plan cover in case of rain

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
