Live wedding paella catering in Crowthorne
Wedding paella catering in Crowthorne, made fresh on the day
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. For receptions after an intimate ceremony and weddings with lots of dietary needs, we can cook canapé tapas, evening paella and table tapas.
Couples in Crowthorne often keep it personal, with a marquee or a hall nearby. Live paella suits that kind of day. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated.
Crowthorne: your questions answered
Can you cook in Edgbarrow Woods?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Crowthorne Methodist Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Can you cook indoors?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can we have a tasting?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain the options.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Guest numbers
- Your choice of paellas
- Whether you need crockery
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The date and rough timings
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers

- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
