Paella has a natural rhythm: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it’s best served right away. We plan it around your speeches and photos. For receptions after an intimate ceremony and weddings with mixed diets, we will put together a menu of a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and canapé tapas and more.

How the day works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell usually draws people over. For a summer wedding in West Molesey, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
How to prepare
- Let us know the timings for the day

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
What you get with us
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
