Common questions in Fringford
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Fringford too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on how it’s served.
Can we have a tasting?
Ask us about tastings when you contact us.
How much does wedding paella catering cost in Fringford?
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.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:

- The paellas you choose
- Timings and hours
- How many staff you need
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.

What happens on the day
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over. In Fringford, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan each course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
