Wedding paella catering in Foxendown, cooked live
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. For blessings and vow renewals and evening wedding food, we can cook Spanish desserts, table tapas and evening paella and more.
A wedding in a small place like Foxendown often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Questions from Foxendown
Which station should guests use for Foxendown?
The closest is Sole Street station, roughly 1 mile away.
We are having a ceremony at Parish Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on how it is served.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Do you cook inside?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
What if the timings change?
We adapt. We stay in touch with your coordinator and time the rice so it is served at its best.

Is live paella right for your wedding?
Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Dishes our guests love
Evening paella
Paella makes great evening food, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.
Canapé tapas
One- and two-bite tapas on boards, perfect during the photos.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
What wedding paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The number of people
- Travel, parking and access
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How long we are needed on site
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Any dietary needs and allergies
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can use our quote form.
How the day works
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 while your guests chat. Golden-hour photos in Foxendown at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
