About our wedding paella catering in Great Kingshill
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: each paella has its own pan, so every guest gets a proper hot main. Whether it is evening food for extra guests and informal wedding breakfasts, we will put together a menu of a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and canapé tapas and more.
Near Great Kingshill, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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 at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

What else we do in Great Kingshill
How we price wedding paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Guest numbers
- Your choice of paellas
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Timings and hours
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The courses you’d like
- The date and rough timings
- Where the event is
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Live paella or other catering?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why choose Love Paella in Great Kingshill
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Live cooking, not reheated food

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Great Kingshill
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of the Good Shepherd?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How far is Great Kingshill from London?
About 30 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Can you cook indoors?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from the drinks reception to the evening.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. Find your area.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
What happens on the day
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Great Kingshill, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
How to prepare
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Share the running order, including any speeches
