How wedding paella catering works in Milton Keynes

Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, to suit the style of your day. Popular choices include table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella, and typical bookings are for receptions after an intimate ceremony and vow renewals and civil ceremonies.

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss.

Local landmarks in Milton Keynes

Locally, our events take us close to South Loughton Valley park, Summerfield School and The Countryman pub, among other places. You will also find Church of Christ the Cornerstone (less than half a mile north-east) and St Paul's Catholic School (1 mile south-east). Milton Keynes has its own railway station: Milton Keynes Central station. Nearby you’ll also find Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre (0.7 miles north-east) and Badminton Museum (0.7 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Blue Lagoon Park and Lodge Lake.

Getting married in Milton Keynes

Milton Keynes offers town venues in Bletchley, Newport Pagnell and Bletchley and Fenny Stratford and countryside settings across 45 villages and hamlets. We’ll agree where to cook with your venue.

Milton Keynes: For outdoor photos, Lodge Lake is close by, and the countryside around Milton Keynes suits an outdoor reception. Nearby historic houses include Linford Manor (2.5 miles north) and Bletchley Park (2.9 miles south-east). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on caterers and live cooking. For a summer wedding in Milton Keynes, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

About the dishes

Desserts

To finish: churros, crema catalana or your wedding cake.

Evening paella

Paella makes great evening food.

Space, weather and the venue

Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:

Somewhere close to park and unload
Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
The venue’s permission for live cooking

Planners, venues and businesses

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.

Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

Is live paella right for you?

Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and suits a relaxed style.

Milton Keynes questions

When should we book?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

Can you serve drinks?

Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.

What if the weather’s bad?

Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.

What if the timings change?

It happens. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it’s ready when you are.

Do you take everything away?

We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.

Should we have more than one paella?

Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
