About our wedding paella catering in Lyneham
Timing is everything with paella: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it is best served right away. We time it around your speeches and photos. Whether it’s weddings with mixed diets and weddings in a marquee or garden, we will put together a menu of evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts.
Rural weddings around Lyneham have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras.

Planning for every diet
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
If things run late, and we’ll adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.
What wedding paella catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- The length of service
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many courses
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The venue or postcode
- What the venue already provides
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, use our quote form.

How it works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. Golden-hour photos in Lyneham at midsummer come around 9:30pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 9:00pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Before we arrive

Common questions in Lyneham
Which station should guests use for Lyneham?
The closest is Shipton station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Is Lyneham close to London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
How much does wedding paella catering cost in Lyneham?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
