Wedding paella catering in Eynsham
How our wedding paella catering works in Eynsham
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. Whether it is blessings and vow renewals and food for evening guests, we’ll put together a menu of evening paella, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas and more.
A farm or garden wedding near Eynsham suits live paella. We need level ground and access. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.

Eynsham: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Leonard: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How far is Eynsham from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Can you cater the whole day?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from the drinks reception to the evening.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Pick a serving style
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
We clear our cooking area away afterwards; any staff stay as long as agreed.
Sangria and bar staff can be added.

We will give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of people
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many courses
- Travel, parking and access
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

Dishes our guests love
Table tapas
Tapas set out on every table to share, from bravas to croquetas and Manchego.
Canapé tapas
Canapé tapas fill the gap before the meal, without spoiling appetites.
What happens on the day
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. For a summer wedding in Eynsham, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
Getting a price
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, use our quote form.
