About our wedding paella catering in Enborne
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, to suit the style of your day. Popular choices include canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and table tapas, and typical bookings are for weddings with a Spanish theme and farm and barn venues.
A wedding in a small place like Enborne often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Enborne
Is Enborne too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Could we have live paella in Hamstead Marshall Park?

Can we try the food first?
Tell us you’d like a tasting when you enquire, and we will explain how it works.
How much does wedding paella catering cost in Enborne?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Can you supply plates?

Can you feed our photographer and band?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.

Dishes our guests love
Canapé tapas
Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal.
Table tapas
Tapas set out on every table to share, such as patatas bravas, croquetas and Manchego.
Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site

The process
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. In Enborne, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Check the venue allows live cooking
