The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. Golden-hour photos in Bampton at midsummer come around 9:30pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan each course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.

Common questions in Bampton
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How far is Bampton from London?
About 64 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes, it makes life easier. Put us in touch and we will agree the details.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Just add them to your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
Can we have a tasting?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we’ll explain how it works.
What wedding paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many guests are eating
- How many courses
- How long we’re needed on site
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The date and time of the event
- The courses you’d like
- Roughly how many adults and children
To get a price, fill in our quote form. Tell us about your wedding in Bampton, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.
Planning the cooking area
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.
