Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Blewbury
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: every paella is cooked separately, so every guest gets a proper hot main. We cook canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella, and typical bookings are for weddings in a marquee or garden and barn and farm weddings.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Blewbury, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Tell us when speeches will be
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. In Blewbury, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. 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.
- Together we plan each course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
How to prepare
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Organising for someone else?
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
