Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Frogmore
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. We cook Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella, and we’re frequently booked for receptions after an intimate ceremony and marquee and garden weddings.
For a smaller place like Frogmore, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground and access. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Frogmore
We’re having a ceremony at St Barnabas Church: 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. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Frogmore for guests?
Sandhurst station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
How much does wedding paella catering cost in Frogmore?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.

Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:

How the day works
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. Golden-hour photos in Frogmore at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
