Wedding paella catering in Beedon, made fresh on the day
Timing is everything with paella: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it is best served right away. We plan it around your speeches and photos. On the menu are canapé tapas, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and typical bookings are for big weddings with every diet and weddings in a marquee or garden.
A wedding in a small place like Beedon often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
Fresh pans can be cooked for evening guests, normally timed after the first dance.
Sangria and bar staff can be added.

Common questions in Beedon
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Beedon?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on presentation and service.
Do you come to Beedon?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Beedon. To check your date, use our quote form.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can you cater the whole day?
We can. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
