The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. For a summer wedding in Tattenhoe, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
How to prepare
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Tell us when you want to eat

Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Count day and evening guests separately
We clear our cooking area away afterwards; staff you’ve booked stay as agreed.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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 for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
