Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Asheridge
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. For weddings with lots of dietary needs and barn and farm weddings, we will put together a menu of a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and evening paella for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Asheridge often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Fast service from the pan
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- We cover Asheridge and the whole of Buckinghamshire
What’s in the pans
Paella wedding breakfast
Paellas for every guest, served hot and generous.
Evening paella
A second round of paella for the evening, served quickly so the party keeps going.
Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The length of service
- How many guests are eating
- Parking and unloading
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Anything your venue supplies
- The address or venue name
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. In Asheridge, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.

- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
