Wedding paella catering in Hitchambury, cooked live
We can add sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff, to suit the style of your day. We are frequently asked to cater blessings and vow renewals and food for evening guests, serving evening paella, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.
A wedding in a small place like Hitchambury frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras.
Space, weather and the venue
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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 be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.
The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. In Hitchambury, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Let us know the timings for the day

Questions from Hitchambury
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Hitchambury for guests?
Taplow station, about 0.8 miles south of the centre.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Can paella feel formal?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on how it’s served.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Will you talk to our venue?
Of course. We are happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.
Can we have a tasting?
Ask us about tastings when you get in touch.
Paella compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Paella covers them with separate pans. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before booking.
