Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Foxcotte

Rural weddings around Foxcotte have a magic of their own, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need crockery
- The length of service
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The courses you’d like
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The venue or postcode
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Planning the cooking area

- Level ground for the pans and burners

Common questions in Foxcotte
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Thomas?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Foxcotte from London?
About 64 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What if the timings change?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day so the paella is served fresh.
Can you cater the whole day?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from canapés to evening food.
How much does wedding paella catering cost in Foxcotte?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is halal food available?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
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, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Just add them to your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
Paella compared with other options
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
