Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Fewcott

Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous and celebratory. Whether it is evening food for extra guests and weddings with a Spanish theme, we’ll put together a menu of Spanish desserts, evening paella and a paella wedding breakfast and more.

A wedding in a small place like Fewcott often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

What wedding paella catering costs

Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Timings and hours
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood

Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

What to tell us

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

  • A photo of the space, if you can
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • The date and rough timings

It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.

Organising for someone else?

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.

12 questions to ask before booking

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Planning the cooking area

We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:

  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
  • Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
  • An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How it works

We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. Golden-hour photos in Fewcott at midsummer come around 9:30pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.

  1. We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
  2. We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
  3. Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
  5. We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.

Preparing for the day

  • Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
  • Tell us where to park and unload
  • Give us your final numbers and diets

Common questions in Fewcott

Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

Do you come out to small places like Fewcott?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Can we add tapas or canapés?

Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.

Can you cater for children?

Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.

How much space do you need?

A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.

Is it really cooked live?

Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.

How much is live paella catering?

Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.

Can we have a tasting?

Tell us you’d like a tasting when you enquire, and we will explain how it works.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
