Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Fleet Marston questions
Which station should guests use for Fleet Marston?
Fleet Marston has its own station: Aylesbury Vale Parkway station.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Share your running order, including speeches
If things run late, and we’ll adapt the timing so the paella is served at its best.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. For a summer wedding in Fleet Marston, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
