How our wedding paella catering works in Amersham on the Hill
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: every paella is cooked separately, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. For big weddings with every diet and food for evening guests, we’ll put together a menu of canapé tapas, evening paella and a paella wedding breakfast and more.
For a smaller place like Amersham on the Hill, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level ground and access. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

Questions from Amersham on the Hill
We are having a ceremony at St. Michael and All Angels: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Can we try the food first?
Ask us about tastings when you get in touch.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Separate paella pans cover every diet. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.
