Wedding paella catering in Froxfield Green, made fresh on the day
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. Popular choices include canapé tapas, table tapas and Spanish desserts, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings with mixed diets and vow renewals and civil ceremonies.
Near Froxfield Green, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests typically gather round to watch while it cooks. In Froxfield Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

Live paella or other catering?
Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What you get with us
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Served hot, straight from the pan

Dishes our guests love
Canapé tapas
Canapé tapas fill the gap before the meal.
Evening paella
Evening paella is hot, filling and fun, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
