Wedding paella catering near Enborne Row

DIY paella versus live catering

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Wedding paella catering in Enborne Row, made fresh on the day

Paella as evening food is popular: it’s hot, filling and quick to serve, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. We cook evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas, and we’re regularly asked to cater destination-style celebrations at home and food for evening guests.

Rural weddings around Enborne Row have a magic of their own, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated.

Catering for every guest

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

  • Choose pan-side or table service
  • Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
  • Ask about your date as soon as you have one
  • Connect us with your coordinator

If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we’ll adapt the timing so it is still served fresh.

Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.

How the day works

Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over. Golden-hour photos in Enborne Row at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. Together we plan each course.
  3. Timings are agreed with your venue.
  4. On the day, we cook and serve each course.
  5. We clear our area; staff stay as booked.

Before we arrive

  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Choosing a paella caterer

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Enborne Row

Do you come out to small places like Enborne Row?

No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Which station should guests use for Enborne Row?

Newbury station, about 2.6 miles north-east of the centre.

Is the paella gluten-free?

We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Should we have more than one paella?

Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.

Do you cook inside?

Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.

Is the paella cooked on site?

It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.

Do you work with our venue?

Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Put us in touch and we’ll agree the details.

How much space do you need?

Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.

Where we can cook in Enborne Row

Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:

  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot
  • A safe distance from anything that could catch

Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
