Wedding paella catering near Easton
How it works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. For a summer wedding in Easton, 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 is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around 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.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable

DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella is served quickly to many guests. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- Catering across West Berkshire, including Easton
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Drinks service on request
How we price wedding paella catering
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- Your choice of paellas
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
