Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Live paella or other catering?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and suits a relaxed style. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Why book with us
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Fast service from the pan
- No hidden extras in your quote

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Godstow
How far is Godstow from London?
About 55 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We are having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cover Godstow?
We do. Godstow is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Can paella feel formal?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. Find your area.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
How we price wedding paella catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of paellas
- The length of service
- Travel, parking and access
- The number of people
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The date and rough timings
- What the venue already provides
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your wedding, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Dishes our guests love
Paella wedding breakfast
Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables.
Canapé tapas
Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal, without spoiling appetites.
Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Connect us with your coordinator
We normally set up where guests can watch, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
We can provide crockery and waiting staff.
The process
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. In Godstow, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
