Wedding paella catering in Bellingdon, cooked live
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: each paella has its own pan, so every guest gets a proper hot main. For weddings with a Spanish theme and sharing-style wedding meals, we will put together a menu of evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas.
A wedding in a small place like Bellingdon 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. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Questions from Bellingdon
Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
We are having a ceremony at St John's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Bellingdon.
Do you cook inside?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
What if our speeches run late?
It happens. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it is ready when you are.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
Can we try the food first?
Ask us about tastings when you contact us.
What affects the price in Bellingdon
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The length of service
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The address or venue name

- Diets and allergies you know about
- What the venue already provides
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we offer
- Dessert
- Sangria & bar staff

The process
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Bellingdon, 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. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
