Other catering in Wheeler End
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. In Wheeler End, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is generally 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.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan each course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.

Why choose live paella in Wheeler End?
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Paella covers them with separate pans. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

- A quote that spells everything out
- Drinks service on request
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
