Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, timed for after the first dance.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
Paella compared with other options
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. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.

What affects the price in Woolhampton
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, parking and access
- The paellas you choose
- The number of people
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Anything your venue supplies
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your date and when you want to eat
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. For a summer wedding in Woolhampton, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Evening paella
Paella makes great evening food, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.
Woolhampton questions
Is Woolhampton close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Peter: 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.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Introduce us and we will sort the details.
What about supplier meals?
Just add them to your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from canapés to evening food.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Planning the cooking area
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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’ll do the cooking.
