Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.

What happens on the day
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. In Two Mile Ash, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

What’s in the pans
Table tapas
Bowls and boards set down in the middle of each table, from bravas to croquetas and Manchego.
Desserts
To finish: churros, crema catalana or your wedding cake.
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 it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Planning the cooking area
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Level ground for the pans and burners
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
