Wedding paella catering in East Garston, cooked live
Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. For spanish-themed and destination-style weddings and garden and marquee weddings, we can cook evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas.
A wedding in a small place like East Garston often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. 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.

Desserts
Churros with chocolate, crema catalana or tarta de Santiago.
Evening paella
A second round of paella for the evening, served quickly so the party keeps going.
Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.

Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.

Do you do desserts?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Enquire early for peak dates
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Pick a serving style
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.
How it works
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. For a summer wedding in East Garston, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
How to get a price
