Live wedding paella catering in Bure Park
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Bure Park
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous and celebratory. Whether it’s parties after a register office wedding and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings, we will put together a menu of evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts and more.
In Bure Park, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. Paella cooked on the lawn suits that perfectly. Let us know about access for the van. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. At midsummer, sunset in Bure Park is about 9:30pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 9:00pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve, then pack down.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Count day and evening guests separately
Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, timed for after the first dance.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.
Questions from Bure Park
We are having a ceremony at Emmanuel Church Bicester: 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Bure Park close to London?
About 54 miles from central London.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
We can. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How we price wedding paella catering
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Parking and unloading
- Timings and hours
- Whether you need crockery
- How many guests are eating
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The courses you’d like
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
To get a price, use our quote form. Give us the details of your wedding, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Paella compared with other options
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. Larger events usually cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book with us
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
