Wedding paella catering in Bledlow Ridge, cooked live

Timing is everything with paella: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it is best served straight away. We time it around your speeches and photos. Whether it’s relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts and wedding receptions after a small ceremony, we can cook a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and evening paella for your guests.

There’s something special about a country wedding near Bledlow Ridge, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Diets, allergies and planning

Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:

  • Include any suppliers you are feeding
  • Connect us with your coordinator
  • Choose pan-side or table service
  • Give us separate day and evening numbers

Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff, whichever suits your day.

Table tapas make a sociable starter.

Organising for someone else?

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.

Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

Live paella or other catering?

A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and suits a relaxed style. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Bledlow Ridge

We are having a ceremony at Church of St Paul: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.

Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.

What space do you need to cook?

Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.

Can you do sangria?

We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.

Do you do desserts?

Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.

Can you serve tapas as well?

Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.

Can you cook in the rain?

We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.

Do you cook it at the event?

Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
