About our wedding paella catering in Aylesbury
Evening paella is a favourite: it is hot, filling and quick to serve, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. Popular choices include evening paella, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and we are frequently booked for marquee and garden weddings and blessings and vow renewals.
Aylesbury has plenty of wedding options, from hotels and function rooms to churches and gardens. Live paella suits a reception in a garden, a marquee or a venue with outdoor space. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.

Questions from Aylesbury
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Introduce us and we will sort the details.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you cover Aylesbury?
