Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Alscot
We can add sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff, to suit the style of your day. We cook Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and typical bookings are for wedding receptions after a small ceremony and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Alscot frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests normally gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. Golden-hour photos in Alscot at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Book early for summer Saturdays
Fresh pans can be cooked for evening guests, typically timed after the first dance.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Separate paella pans cover every diet. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why us?
- We cover Alscot and the whole of Buckinghamshire
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Paella cooked from scratch on site

Alscot: your questions answered
How far is Alscot from London?
About 36 miles from central London.
Is Alscot too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What if photos overrun?
We adapt. We stay in touch with your coordinator so the paella is served fresh.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
About the dishes
Desserts
Churros with chocolate, crema catalana or tarta de Santiago.
Table tapas
A tapas starter gets tables talking.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
