Woolage Village: your questions answered
Is Woolage Village too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Margaret: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from canapés to evening food.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
What happens on the day
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. Golden-hour photos in Woolage Village at midsummer come around 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.

Planning the cooking area
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:

- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
