About our wedding paella catering in Great Linford
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. We are often asked to cater evening food for extra guests and vow renewals and civil ceremonies, serving canapé tapas, evening paella and table tapas.
For a smaller place like Great Linford, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We will need a level spot and a way to reach it. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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.
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.
Step by step
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests normally gather round to watch while it cooks. At midsummer, sunset in Great Linford is about 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella 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.
- 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.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Tell us where to park and unload
