Wedding paella catering in Holmer Green
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Holmer Green
Paella as evening food is popular: it is hot, filling and quick to serve, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. Popular choices include canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts, and we’re frequently booked for informal wedding breakfasts and food for evening guests.
For a smaller place like Holmer Green, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level ground and access. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

For event organisers in Holmer Green
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Live paella or other catering?
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Separate paella pans cover every diet. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why us?
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Fast service from the pan

Holmer Green questions
How far is Holmer Green from London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you offer tastings?
Ask us about tastings when you contact us.
What if photos overrun?
It happens. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it is served at its best.

Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Paella wedding breakfast
- Evening paella
- Sangria & bar staff
- Dessert
- Table tapas
- Canapé tapas
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Pick a serving style
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Send us the running order and speech times
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available.
How it works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. In Holmer Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
