About our wedding paella catering in Milton Keynes
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. Popular choices include table tapas, Spanish desserts and evening paella, and typical bookings are for weddings with mixed diets and civil partnerships and vow renewals.

Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Live paella or other catering?
Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why us?
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Sangria and bar staff available
- No hidden extras in your quote

Milton Keynes questions
We are having a ceremony at Church of Christ the Cornerstone: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How far is Milton Keynes from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to Milton Keynes?
We do. We cook at events in Milton Keynes and the surrounding area. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
