Wedding paella catering in Little Barrington, cooked live
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. For weddings with lots of dietary needs and weddings in a marquee or garden, we’ll put together a menu of a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and evening paella and more.
Rural weddings around Little Barrington have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

For event organisers in Little Barrington
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we’ll adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh.
We can provide crockery and waiting staff if your venue does not.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

FAQs for Little Barrington
Do you come out to small places like Little Barrington?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Peter: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Can you cater the whole day?
Yes. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
Planning the cooking area
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
