Wedding paella catering in Bucks Green
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

What’s in the pans
Paella wedding breakfast
Paellas for every guest, served straight from the pan.
Table tapas
A tapas starter gets tables talking.
Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Planning the cooking area
We will be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

If you’re weighing up paella against a traditional menu, consider your venue, diets and the style you want. 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.
