Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

How our wedding paella catering works in Catmore
Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous and celebratory. Whether it is destination-style celebrations at home and vow renewals and civil ceremonies, we’ll put together a menu of evening paella, canapé tapas and table tapas and more.
A wedding in a small place like Catmore 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. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

For planners, venues and organisers
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Weddings in Catmore: venues, ceremonies and travel
Catmore is about 6 miles south-east of Wantage, in West Berkshire. Give us the address of your wedding in Catmore, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. Catmore is one of 155 towns and villages in West Berkshire we cover. We cook right across the region, from Catmore to Oxford (17 miles away).
With the North Wessex Downs National Landscape within about 6 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Ask your venue about access and cooking rules.
Anywhere in RG20, we can cook for your guests. We also cook at weddings in Farnborough (2 miles north-west), Brightwalton (2 miles west), Stanmore (2 miles south-east), Brightwalton Green (2 miles south-west) and West Ilsley (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also cater in Newbury (8 miles south), Thatcham (9 miles south-east), Burghfield Common (15 miles south-east), Speenhamland (8 miles south), Hungerford (10 miles south-west) and Calcot (14 miles south-east).
Step by step
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell usually draws people over. In Catmore, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Plan cover in case of rain

Live paella or other catering?
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. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Catmore
Do you cater in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Margaret?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
Do you work with our venue?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Put us in touch and we’ll agree the details.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Can you cater the whole day?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from canapés to evening food.
Do you cater for young children?
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.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Choose pan-side or table service
The pans are often set up where guests can see them, and it makes a great photo.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
Events we cater in Catmore
