Wedding paella catering in Egham
Wedding paella catering in Egham, made fresh on the day
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. We cook table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella, and we are frequently booked for food for evening guests and destination-style celebrations at home.
Couples in Egham frequently keep it personal, with a marquee or a hall nearby. Live paella suits that kind of day. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.
What affects the price in Egham
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- The length of service
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff

Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. For a summer wedding in Egham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

FAQs for Egham
What’s the nearest station to Egham for guests?
Egham has its own station: Egham station.
We’re having a ceremony at St John's Church: can you cater afterwards?
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. Send us the reception address.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
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.
Can paella feel formal?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on presentation and service.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Planning the cooking area
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
