We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.

What we need at the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What happens on the day
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. In Stoke Lyne, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan each course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Perfect for your wedding in Stoke Lyne

Big or small, live paella works well. Typical bookings include:
- Wedding receptions after a small ceremony

If you are marrying at a church near Stoke Lyne, such as Church of St Peter, a reception in a garden, marquee or hired venue nearby keeps the day flowing: we can be cooking during the photos, so the meal is ready when you arrive.
Questions to ask before booking
- How each diet is kept separate
- The deadline for final numbers
- The venue requirements
- If the price includes VAT
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Pick a serving style
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables, whichever suits your day.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Guest numbers
- How many courses
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and feels more relaxed. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
