Wedding paella catering in Delly End, made fresh on the day
Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. Whether it is rustic barn weddings and parties after a register office wedding, we’ll put together a menu of Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.
A wedding in a small place like Delly End 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. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Delly End questions
Which station should guests use for Delly End?
Finstock station, about 2.6 miles north of the centre.
Is Delly End too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from canapés to evening food.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. At midsummer, sunset in Delly End 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.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
Getting a price
Send us the date, your venue or OX29 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Planning the cooking area
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
