How our wedding paella catering works in Eton
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: every paella is cooked separately, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. On the menu are evening paella, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas, and typical bookings are for sharing-style wedding meals and food for evening guests.
Rural weddings around Eton have a magic of their own, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Step by step
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. In Eton, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Why choose wedding paella catering in Eton?

- Weddings with lots of dietary needs
- Parties after a register office wedding
- Vow renewals and civil ceremonies
Planning photos in The Goswells? It’s worth checking the park’s rules first.
Comparing caterers

- How long the team stays
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Your questions about wedding paella catering in Eton
What’s the nearest station to Eton for guests?
The closest is Windsor & Eton Riverside station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Is Eton close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
A buffet can leave food sitting out. Paella is served hot from the pan. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
