Wedding paella catering in Bledington, made fresh on the day
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: every paella is cooked separately, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. Popular choices include Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and typical bookings are for weddings in a marquee or garden and wedding receptions after a small ceremony.
There is something special about a country wedding near Bledington, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras.

Common questions in Bledington
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Leonard?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you come out to small places like Bledington?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Find your area.
What if photos overrun?
Tell us and we’ll adjust. We keep in touch with your venue on the day and time the rice so it is served at its best.

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.
The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. Golden-hour photos in Bledington at midsummer come around 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.
