Your questions about wedding paella catering in Bloxham
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: 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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Bloxham close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What if our speeches run late?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day and time the rice so it is served at its best.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
How much does wedding paella catering cost in Bloxham?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.

Is live paella right for your wedding?
Food vans can create long queues. Paella is served quickly to many guests. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why book with us
- Drinks service on request
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
How we price wedding paella catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether you need crockery
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The length of service
- The number of people
Larger events usually cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Anything your venue supplies
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Pick a serving style
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Count day and evening guests separately
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables, whichever suits your day.
Sangria and bar staff can be added.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls

The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. At midsummer, sunset in Bloxham 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.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. 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.
