Wedding paella catering near Huntercombe
Huntercombe: your questions answered
Can you cook in Haymill Valley?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Which station should guests use for Huntercombe?
Huntercombe has its own station: Burnham station.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
How many paellas should we have?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Wedding paella catering in Huntercombe, made fresh on the day
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. Whether it’s big weddings with every diet and informal wedding breakfasts, we will put together a menu of Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and table tapas and more.
A farm or garden wedding near Huntercombe suits live paella. We’ll need a level spot and a way to reach it. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Paella compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Separate paella pans cover every diet. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
On the day, we liaise with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you don’t have to.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Space, weather and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
What we offer
- Canapé tapas
- Sangria & bar staff
- Evening paella
- Paella wedding breakfast
- Dessert
- Table tapas
What’s in the pans

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
