How our wedding paella catering works in Bagshot
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. Popular choices include canapé tapas, evening paella and Spanish desserts, and we are regularly asked to cater rustic barn weddings and evening wedding food.
Weddings in a place like Bagshot frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. Paella cooked on the lawn suits that perfectly. Let us know about access for the van. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

What affects the price in Bagshot
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many guests are eating
- Timings and hours
- Whether you need crockery
- Your choice of paellas
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

Bagshot questions
We’re having a ceremony at The Brook Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station should guests use for Bagshot?
Bagshot has its own station: Bagshot station.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
How much does wedding paella catering cost in Bagshot?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
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.
Step by step
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. For a summer wedding in Bagshot, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Live paella or other catering?
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Separate paella pans cover every diet. Larger events generally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
