About wedding paella catering in Buckinghamshire

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. We’re frequently asked to cater weddings in a marquee or garden and rustic barn weddings, serving table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas.

We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand.

Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.

What’s near Aylesbury

We cook for events around Buckinghamshire UTC, Stocklake Park Community School and The Derby Arms Public House.

For a walk before or after the party, there is Coombe Hill.

Wedding settings across Buckinghamshire

Buckinghamshire offers town venues in Aylesbury, High Wycombe and Chesham and countryside settings across 210 villages and hamlets. We will agree where to cook with your venue. Parts of Buckinghamshire are within a few miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, so check venue rules on vehicles and cooking for countryside events.

Aylesbury: For guests travelling by train, Aylesbury has its own station, Aylesbury station. For outdoor photos, Coombe Hill is close by, and the countryside around Aylesbury suits an outdoor reception. At midsummer, sunset in Aylesbury is about 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

Why live paella works

It fills the gap between ceremony and meal: watch the pans.

Live paella works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:

Rustic barn weddings
Spanish-themed and destination-style weddings
Receptions after an intimate ceremony
Evening food for extra guests

What we need at the venue

The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:

Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
Access for unloading near the cooking spot

Should I cook it myself?

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

What wedding paella catering costs

Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:

Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Guest numbers

Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.

What to tell us

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
Roughly how many adults and children
The venue or postcode
The date and time of the event

Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

Buckinghamshire: your questions answered

What space do you need to cook?

Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.

Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?

Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Introduce us and we’ll sort the details.

Will there be enough food?

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.

Can you do our whole wedding menu?

Yes. We can do canapés, tapas, the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts.

Do you cook it at the event?

It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.

What if the timings change?

We plan for it. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it is ready when you are.

Can you cook in the rain?

Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
