About our wedding paella catering in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford
Evening paella is a favourite: it’s hot, filling and quick to serve, so the party keeps going. Popular choices include Spanish desserts, evening paella and a paella wedding breakfast, and typical bookings are for civil partnerships and vow renewals and weddings with a Spanish theme.
For a wedding in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford, a marquee in a family garden or a hall with outside space keeps things personal. Live paella suits that kind of day. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras.

What else we do in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford
DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
How we price wedding paella catering
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Guest numbers
- Waiting and bar staff
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Your choice of paellas
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your date and when you want to eat
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Diets and allergies you know about
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Put us in touch with your venue
We usually set up where guests can watch, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.
Bletchley and Fenny Stratford questions
We are having a ceremony at Water Eaton Church Centre: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Bletchley and Fenny Stratford?
Bletchley station, in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford itself.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Bletchley and Fenny Stratford.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
How the day works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Bletchley and Fenny Stratford, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
Before we arrive
