Wedding paella catering in Gerrards Cross, made fresh on the day
Paella as evening food is popular: it is hot, filling and quick to serve, so the party keeps going. For barn and farm weddings and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings, we can cook evening paella, table tapas and canapé tapas and more.
For a smaller place like Gerrards Cross, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level ground and access. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Gerrards Cross, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Questions from Gerrards Cross
Can you cater a reception after a service at St James Church?
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.
Can you cook in Bulstrode Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Gerrards Cross.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers

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. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
