Space, weather and the venue

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:

  • Somewhere close to park and unload
  • A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site

Strawberry Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

Popular choices

  • Paella wedding breakfast

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Diets, allergies and planning

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:

  • Introduce us to your venue coordinator
  • Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
  • Share your running order, including speeches
  • Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers

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.

Live paella or other catering?

A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Separate paella pans cover every diet. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

At midsummer, sunset in Strawberry Hill is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
