Live wedding paella catering in Hythe End
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Hythe End
Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous and celebratory. Typical bookings include weddings with lots of dietary needs and evening wedding food, with canapé tapas, evening paella and table tapas.
Near Hythe End, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. In Hythe End, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally 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 everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Before we arrive
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Pick a serving style
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
On the day, we liaise with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
FAQs for Hythe End
We’re having a ceremony at St John's Church: 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.
Which station should guests use for Hythe End?
Wraysbury station, about 1 mile north of the centre.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Should we have more than one paella?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you cater the whole day?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from the drinks reception to the evening.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.

Live paella or other catering?
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Paella covers them with separate pans. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
