Near Hungerford, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Live paella or other catering?
Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
