For event organisers in Three Mile Cross
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
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 at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

Is live paella right for your wedding?
Compared with formal catering, live paella is relaxed and sociable, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
