Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Common questions in Tingewick
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalen?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is Tingewick too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Is halal food available?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.
How many paellas should we have?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. Find your area.
How we price wedding paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- The length of service
- Waiting and bar staff
- How many guests are eating
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- A picture of the space, if you can
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can send us your details through our quote form.
The process
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. At midsummer, sunset in Tingewick is about 9:30pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
