Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
How it works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. In Yiewsley, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
How to prepare
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Questions from Yiewsley
What about parking in Yiewsley?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.
We are having a ceremony at St Joseph the Worker & Dovetail Centre: 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.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
What if photos overrun?
We plan for it. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it’s ready when you are.
What about pudding?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Enquire early for peak dates
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you don’t have to.
Table tapas make a sociable starter.
Space, weather and the venue
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Somewhere close to park and unload
Yiewsley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

Is live paella right for your wedding?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
