Wedding paella catering near Aldermaston
Wedding paella catering in Aldermaston, cooked live
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. Typical bookings include evening food for extra guests and destination-style celebrations at home, serving canapé tapas, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.
A wedding in a small place like Aldermaston frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

FAQs for Aldermaston
Which station should guests use for Aldermaston?
Aldermaston station, about 1.4 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cover Aldermaston?
Yes, we do. Aldermaston is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Do you offer tastings?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we’ll talk you through it.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
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. In Aldermaston, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Getting ready for the day

- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.
