Live wedding paella catering in Kintbury
Wedding paella catering in Kintbury, made fresh on the day

A wedding in a small place like Kintbury frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot.

What happens on the day
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests typically gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. For a summer wedding in Kintbury, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
