How our wedding paella catering works in Letcombe Regis
Timing is everything with paella: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We plan it around your speeches and photos. We cook canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and a paella wedding breakfast, and we are often booked for farm and barn venues and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Letcombe Regis, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

How we price wedding paella catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Timings and hours
- Waiting and bar staff
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your date and when you want to eat
- What the venue already provides
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, use our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
What happens on the day
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. In Letcombe Regis, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP

We normally set up where guests can watch, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.
Letcombe Regis questions
Could we have live paella in Betjeman Millennium Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is Letcombe Regis too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Of course. Include suppliers in your numbers.
What if our speeches run late?
We adapt. We stay in touch with your coordinator so the paella is served fresh.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Planning the cooking area
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
