About our wedding paella catering in Brimpton Common
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. We cook evening paella, table tapas and canapé tapas, and typical bookings are for relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts and garden and marquee weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Brimpton Common often 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. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

What else we do in Brimpton Common
Brimpton Common questions
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater afterwards?
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. Send us the reception address.
Do you come out to small places like Brimpton Common?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from the drinks reception to the evening.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
What if the timings change?
Tell us and we’ll adjust. We keep in touch with your venue on the day and time the rice so it is served at its best.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Before you choose a spot
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
