Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Pick a serving style
The pans are often set up where guests can see them, and it makes a great photo.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available.
Space, weather and the venue
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

A closer look at the menu
Paella wedding breakfast
Paellas for every guest, served straight from the pan.
Evening paella
Paella makes great evening food, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.
The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you’re free to enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. In Whistley Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is 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.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
