Wedding paella catering in Boundstone
Boundstone: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Timothy?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook in Underdown nature reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Can we try the food first?
Tell us you’d like a tasting when you enquire, and we will talk you through it.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Just add them to your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
About our wedding paella catering in Boundstone
Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous and celebratory. We are often asked to cater weddings with a Spanish theme and barn and farm weddings, serving a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and table tapas.
Weddings in a place like Boundstone frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. A huge pan on the lawn fits right in. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. At midsummer, sunset in Boundstone is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

Planning the cooking area
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

About the dishes
Canapé tapas
One- and two-bite tapas on boards, perfect during the photos.
Paella wedding breakfast
Paellas for every guest, served straight from the pan.
Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Share your running order, including speeches
We typically set up where guests can watch, and it makes a great photo.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.
What wedding paella catering costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The paellas you choose
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Distance and access to the venue
- The length of service
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- The courses you’d like
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
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.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
