Wedding paella catering in Brick Hill
Wedding paella catering in Brick Hill, cooked live
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts. Whether it’s garden and marquee weddings and sharing-style wedding meals, we will put together a menu of evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Brick Hill frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.
Paella compared with other options
Compared with formal catering, live paella is relaxed and sociable, but with the right extras it feels just as special. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why us?
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Drinks service on request

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Count day and evening guests separately
Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, normally timed after the first dance.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue doesn’t.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Brick Hill
Can you cook in Gracious Pond?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Which station should guests use for Brick Hill?
Sunningdale station, about 1.3 miles north of the centre.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can paella feel formal?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on presentation and service.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Can you cook indoors?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can we have a tasting?
Tell us you’d like a tasting when you enquire, and we will talk you through it.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
The process
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. In Brick Hill, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, 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.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
How to prepare
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Plan cover in case of rain
