Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Wedding paella catering in Baker's Wood, cooked live
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. On the menu are a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and evening paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater parties after a register office wedding and destination-style celebrations at home.
A wedding in a small place like Baker's Wood frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.

Catering for every guest
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
We clear our cooking area away afterwards; any staff stay as long as agreed.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
How it works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. In Baker's Wood, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan each course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
