Wedding paella catering in Fenny Stratford, made fresh on the day

We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts. Typical bookings include weddings in a marquee or garden and evening wedding food, serving Spanish desserts, table tapas and canapé tapas.

Weddings in a place like Fenny Stratford frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. Paella cooked on the lawn suits that perfectly. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Paella compared with other options

Compared with formal catering, live paella is relaxed and sociable, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

Why us?

  • Fast service from the pan
  • Drinks service on request
  • Real theatre, not just catering
  • Catering across Milton Keynes, including Fenny Stratford

Fenny Stratford: your questions answered

Is Fenny Stratford close to London?

Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.

We are having a ceremony at Church of St Martin: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.

Will you talk to our venue?

Yes. We will speak to your venue about access and timings.

Do you cater in Fenny Stratford?

We do. Fenny Stratford is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

Can you serve tapas as well?

Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.

How long do you need on site?

It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.

Can you serve drinks?

Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.

Step by step

Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. For a summer wedding in Fenny Stratford, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. First, we check your date.
  2. You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
  3. We confirm everything with your venue.
  4. The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
  5. We serve and clear our cooking area.

Preparing for the day

  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Name one person we can ask on the day

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
