The process
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests usually gather round to watch while it cooks. At midsummer, sunset in Whitehouse is about 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
How to prepare
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why us?
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Drinks service on request
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Waiting staff and crockery on request

Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Book early for summer Saturdays
If things run late, and we will adjust the cooking so the paella is served at its best.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.
