Live wedding paella catering in Bray Wick
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we will adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh.
We can provide crockery and waiting staff if your venue does not.
Wedding paella catering in Bray Wick, made fresh on the day
We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. We are often asked to cater blessings and vow renewals and weddings in a marquee or garden, serving canapé tapas, evening paella and a paella wedding breakfast.
A wedding in a small place like Bray Wick frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You will know exactly what’s included before you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.

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. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

What we need at the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

FAQs for Bray Wick
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Michael's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Bray Wick?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What if photos overrun?
It happens. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it is ready when you are.
Can you cater the whole day?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from the drinks reception to the evening.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Step by step
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell generally draws people over. For a summer wedding in Bray Wick, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
