About our wedding paella catering in Aspley Guise
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. Typical bookings include blessings and vow renewals and relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts, serving canapé tapas, table tapas and evening paella.
A wedding in a small place like Aspley Guise frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

How it works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell generally draws people over. At midsummer, sunset in Aspley Guise is about 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

What wedding paella catering costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How many courses
- Your choice of paellas
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How long we are needed on site
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, your venue or MK17 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
