A wedding in a small place like Bladon frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot.

How we price wedding paella catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Parking and unloading
- The paellas you choose
- How many guests are eating
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The address or venue name
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Diets and allergies you know about
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Where we can cook in Bladon
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. At midsummer, sunset in Bladon is about 9:30pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 9:00pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Getting ready for the day
