Live wedding paella catering in Jericho
Live paella or other catering?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Why Jericho hosts choose us
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Waiting staff and crockery on request

Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Jericho
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. We are often asked to cater food for evening guests and informal wedding breakfasts, with Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.
For a smaller place like Jericho, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground and access. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables, whichever suits your day.
Sangria and bar staff can be added.
Jericho questions
We’re having a ceremony at St Barnabas Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook in Oxford University Parks?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. Find your area.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
How we price wedding paella catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many courses
- How long we are needed on site
- How many staff you need
- Parking and unloading
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A photo of the space, if you can
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. At midsummer, sunset in Jericho is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 9:00pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- 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, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Have a level space ready for the pans
Ask for a quote
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, fill in our quote form.
