- Food for evening guests

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Questions from Wrotham Heath
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Margaret: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook in Trosley Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can we have a tasting?
Ask us about tastings when you contact us.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Should we have more than one paella?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Do you cover Wrotham Heath?
Yes, we do. Wrotham Heath is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.

How it works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a summer wedding in Wrotham Heath, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
