Our wedding paella catering in West Berkshire

Paella has a natural rhythm: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We time it around your speeches and photos. Typical bookings include evening wedding food and wedding receptions after a small ceremony, with a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and canapé tapas.

We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests normally gather round to watch as the paella takes shape.

Planning a paella wedding in West Berkshire

With 139 villages and hamlets as well as Newbury, Thatcham and Burghfield Common, West Berkshire has plenty of countryside wedding settings. Whatever you choose, we agree the cooking spot with your venue. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within easy reach of places across West Berkshire, so check venue rules on vehicles and cooking for countryside events.

Newbury: Planning photos in Victoria Park? It’s worth checking the park’s rules first. For guests travelling by train, Newbury station is in Newbury itself. Golden-hour photos in Newbury at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.

Should I cook it myself?

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

What wedding paella catering costs

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

Waiting and bar staff
Travel, parking and access
The length of service
Whether you need crockery

Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

Planning for every diet

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

Put us in touch with your venue
Send us the running order and speech times
Enquire early for peak dates
Collect dietary needs on the RSVP

We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you do not have to.

We can provide crockery and waiting staff if your venue doesn’t.

Planners, venues and businesses

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Live paella or other catering?

If you are weighing up paella against a traditional menu, think about your venue, your guests’ diets and the feel of the day.

FAQs for West Berkshire

How far ahead should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Can you cook halal paella?

Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.

Is it really cooked live?

Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.

Do you cater for young children?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

Do you do vegan paella?

Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
