Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Edgcott
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts. On the menu are table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts, and we are often booked for evening wedding food and civil partnerships and vow renewals.
A wedding in a small place like Edgcott often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Common questions in Edgcott
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Michael: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Edgcott?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
What if the timings change?
Tell us and we will adjust. We stay in touch with your coordinator and time the rice so it’s served at its best.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Send us the running order and speech times
Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, timed for after the first dance.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available.
The process
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests generally gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. At midsummer, sunset in Edgcott is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- 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 in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
