About our wedding paella catering in Langley
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. For barn and farm weddings and informal wedding breakfasts, we can cook a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas and more.
For a smaller place like Langley, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We’ll need a level spot and a way to reach it. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
FAQs for Langley
What’s the nearest station to Langley for guests?
The closest is Langley station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
We’re having a ceremony at St Mary the Virgin Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from the drinks reception to the evening.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
What if photos overrun?
It happens. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it is served at its best.
Planning the cooking area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
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 will do the cooking.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
We normally set up where guests can watch, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue does not.
Why choose live paella in Langley?
Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

What happens on the day
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. For a summer wedding in Langley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
