Live paella or other catering?
Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Sangria and bar staff available
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Fast service from the pan
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch

Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
Winford is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Table tapas
- Paella wedding breakfast

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
