Wedding paella catering near Hedsor

About our wedding paella catering in Hedsor

Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: every paella is cooked separately, so every guest gets a proper hot main. We’re often asked to cater informal wedding breakfasts and big weddings with every diet, serving evening paella, table tapas and Spanish desserts.

A wedding in a small place like Hedsor often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Is live paella right for your wedding?

Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella is served hot from the pan when guests are ready. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Why us?

  • Paella cooked from scratch on site
  • Fast service from the pan
  • Starters and desserts to complete the menu
  • Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available

Dietary needs and planning tips

With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:

  • Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
  • Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
  • Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
  • Connect us with your coordinator

If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we will adjust the cooking so the paella is served at its best.

Sangria and bar staff can be added.

What’s in the pans

Desserts

Spanish desserts from churros to crema catalana, or your cake as dessert.

Canapé tapas

Canapé tapas fill the gap before the meal, without spoiling appetites.

The process

Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. For a summer wedding in Hedsor, 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 generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

  1. Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
  2. We plan your menu course by course.
  3. We agree timings with you and your venue.
  4. On the day, we cook and serve each course.
  5. We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.

Getting ready for the day

  • Check the venue allows live cooking
  • Plan cover in case of rain
  • Name one person we can ask on the day

How to compare caterers

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Hedsor

Do you come out to small places like Hedsor?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

How far is Hedsor from London?

About 26 miles from central London.

Is paella too casual for a wedding?

With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.

Can you feed our photographer and band?

Of course. Add your suppliers to the final numbers and we’ll plan for them.

How far ahead should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.

What do you need at the venue?

Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.

How many paellas should we have?

Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

How we price wedding paella catering

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:

  • How many courses
  • Your choice of paellas
  • How long we are needed on site
  • The number of people

The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
