Why live cooking beats a buffet
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.

How our wedding paella catering works in Bagshot
Timing is everything with paella: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We plan it around your speeches and photos. We’re frequently asked to cater wedding receptions after a small ceremony and sharing-style wedding meals, serving table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts.
There is something special about a country wedding near Bagshot, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.

How we price wedding paella catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Parking and unloading
- The paellas you choose
- Waiting and bar staff
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- What the venue already provides
- Expected numbers
- The date and rough timings
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your wedding in Bagshot, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Pick a serving style
We normally set up where guests can watch, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
Sangria and bar staff can be added.

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

How it works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. In Bagshot, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.

Desserts
To finish: churros, crema catalana or your wedding cake.
Table tapas
A tapas starter gets tables talking.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Bagshot: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at Church of the Good Shepherd: 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. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Bagshot for guests?
Bedwyn station, about 2.4 miles west of the centre.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on how it is served.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Do you cater in Bagshot?
We do. Bagshot is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
