Your questions about wedding paella catering in Cheapside
How far is Cheapside from London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could we have live paella in Silwood Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
What about supplier meals?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
We can. We can do canapés, tapas, the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
How our wedding paella catering works in Cheapside
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. We’re often asked to cater evening wedding food and parties after a register office wedding, serving Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas.
A wedding in a small place like Cheapside frequently 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. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

How it works
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. At midsummer, sunset in Cheapside is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Share the running order, including any speeches

About the dishes
Canapé tapas
Canapé tapas fill the gap before the meal.
Evening paella
Evening paella is hot, filling and fun.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What you get with us
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Catering across Windsor and Maidenhead, including Cheapside
- Paella cooked from scratch on site

- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
