How our wedding paella catering works in Binsey
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. For weddings with mixed diets and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings, we can cook evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas.
Rural weddings around Binsey have a magic of their own, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

Is live paella right for your wedding?
Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with the right extras it feels just as special. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

What affects the price in Binsey
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The number of people
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Timings and hours
- Waiting and bar staff
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The courses you’d like
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want to eat
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your wedding, and we will put together a menu and price.
Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
What’s in the pans
Desserts
Spanish desserts from churros to crema catalana.
Paella wedding breakfast
Paellas for every guest, served straight from the pan.
Binsey questions
How far is Binsey from London?
About 55 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Margaret: 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.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on how it’s served.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
