Wedding paella catering for Edgehill events
Is live paella right for your wedding?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

How our wedding paella catering works in Edgehill
Evening paella is a favourite: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so the party keeps going. We cook a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and canapé tapas, and we are often booked for weddings with lots of dietary needs and parties after a register office wedding.
Near Edgehill, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s 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 every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

What’s in the pans

Paellas for every guest, served hot and generous.
Table tapas

What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell generally draws people over. In Edgehill, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- 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.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
Fresh pans can be cooked for evening guests, timed for after the first dance.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.

Common questions in Edgehill
Do you come out to small places like Edgehill?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Do you cater in Edgehill?
We do. Edgehill is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
