Live paella or other catering?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Why Englefield Green hosts choose us
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Fast service from the pan

Wedding paella catering in Englefield Green, cooked live
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. Popular choices include canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and table tapas, and we are frequently booked for marquee and garden weddings and barn and farm weddings.
For a smaller place like Englefield Green, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level ground and access. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Common questions in Englefield Green
How far is Englefield Green from London?
About 21 miles from central London.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of Our Lady of the Assumption: 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can we have a tasting?
Tell us you’d like a tasting when you enquire, and we’ll explain how it works.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Can paella feel formal?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on how it’s served.
Do you work with our venue?
Yes, it makes life easier. Introduce us and we will sort the details.
DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us when speeches will be
Fresh pans can be cooked for evening guests, typically timed after the first dance.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
Dishes our guests love
Desserts
A sweet finish: Spanish desserts or your own cake.
Table tapas
Bowls and boards set down in the middle of each table, from bravas to croquetas and Manchego.
Step by step
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Englefield Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally 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.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
How to prepare
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Let us know the timings for the day
