Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Cuxton
Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. Typical bookings include food for evening guests and big weddings with every diet, with a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and Spanish desserts.
Rural weddings around Cuxton have a magic of their own, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.
How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. In Cuxton, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Organising a club, school or community event in Cuxton? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
What affects the price in Cuxton
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The paellas you choose
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many guests are eating
There’s 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.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
- Which courses you have in mind
- Your date and when you want to eat
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your wedding, and we will put together a menu and price.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Sangria and bar staff can be added.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. 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.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
