Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Planning the cooking area

Before the day, we will agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
  • The venue’s permission for live cooking

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Popular choices

  • Paella wedding breakfast
  • Sangria & bar staff
  • Evening paella
  • Canapé tapas
  • Table tapas
  • Dessert

Planning for every diet

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:

  • Share your running order, including speeches
  • Put us in touch with your venue
  • Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
  • Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables

Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff, whichever suits your day.

Sangria and bar staff can be added.

The menu, dish by dish

Questions from Ufton Nervet

Is Ufton Nervet too small for live paella?

No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Is Ufton Nervet close to London?

About 43 miles from central London.

Can you cook halal paella?

Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.

When should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.

Can you serve drinks?

We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.

Can we have a tasting?

Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we’ll explain how it works.

Is paella too casual for a wedding?

With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.

What do you need at the venue?

Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
