Wedding paella catering in Oxfordshire: what to expect

We can add sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff, to suit the style of your day. Popular choices include canapé tapas, evening paella and Spanish desserts, and we’re often booked for evening wedding food and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings.

On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event.

  1. Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
  2. Together we plan each course.
  3. Timings are agreed with your venue.
  4. On the day, we cook and serve each course.
  5. We clear our area; staff stay as booked.

Wedding settings across Oxfordshire

Oxfordshire offers town venues in Oxford, Banbury and Didcot and countryside settings across 358 villages and hamlets. Whatever you choose, we agree the cooking spot with your venue. The Chilterns National Landscape and the North Wessex Downs National Landscape are within easy reach of places across Oxfordshire, so check venue rules on vehicles and cooking for countryside events.

Oxford: If you are hoping for photos in South Park, check whether the park needs permission for photography or gatherings. For outdoor photos, Headington Hill is close by, and the countryside around Oxford suits an outdoor reception. At midsummer, sunset in Oxford is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.

For event organisers in Oxfordshire

Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.

Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

About the dishes

Canapé tapas

Small bites carried round on boards while guests mingle, perfect during the photos.

Evening paella

Fresh pans for evening guests, quick to serve and filling.

Is live paella right for you?

A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and feels more relaxed.

What your quote should include

  • Staff numbers and hours
  • When payment is due
  • Any travel, parking or access charges
  • Who provides the crockery

What we need at the venue

If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:

  • An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
  • Level ground for the pans and burners
  • A safe distance from anything that could catch

Planning for every diet

With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:

  • Introduce us to your venue coordinator
  • Count day and evening guests separately
  • Choose pan-side or table service
  • Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs

Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff, whichever suits your day.

Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.

Common questions in Oxfordshire

Do you cater for coeliacs?

We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

Is paella too casual for a wedding?

It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on presentation and service.

What if the weather’s bad?

We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.

Can you cater the whole day?

Any part of the day, or all of it, from canapés to evening food.

Will you talk to our venue?

Yes. We are happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.

Can you do sangria?

Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.

Can we have a tasting?

Ask us about tastings when you get in touch.
