Wedding paella catering in Eastbury, cooked live
Paella has a natural rhythm: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it is best served right away. We time it around your speeches and photos. We’re frequently asked to cater sharing-style wedding meals and destination-style celebrations at home, with Spanish desserts, evening paella and a paella wedding breakfast.
Near Eastbury, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Live paella or other catering?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. Larger events normally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book with us
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Live cooking, not reheated food

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The length of service
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

What happens on the day
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. In Eastbury, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- 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 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Tell us when you want to eat
