Wedding paella catering in Little Chalfont, cooked live
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: every paella is cooked separately, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. We’re often asked to cater informal wedding breakfasts and weddings in a marquee or garden, with canapé tapas, evening paella and Spanish desserts.
In Little Chalfont, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. Paella cooked on the lawn suits that perfectly. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Choose pan-side or table service
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Count day and evening guests separately
We clear our cooking area away afterwards; staff you’ve booked stay as agreed.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.

Questions from Little Chalfont
Is Little Chalfont close to London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. Find your area.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you cater in Little Chalfont?
Yes, we do. Little Chalfont is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. In Little Chalfont, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

What’s in the pans
Evening paella
Evening paella is hot, filling and fun.
Table tapas
Tapas set out on every table to share, from bravas to croquetas and Manchego.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A buffet can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
What you get with us
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Live cooking, not reheated food

How we price wedding paella catering
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The paellas you choose
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Travel, parking and access
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Anything your venue supplies
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Where the event is
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
