Wedding paella catering in Moulsford, made fresh on the day
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. We are frequently asked to cater wedding receptions after a small ceremony and weddings with mixed diets, serving canapé tapas, evening paella and table tapas.
Near Moulsford, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Which station should guests use for Moulsford?
The closest is Cholsey station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
How far is Moulsford from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you are not sure.

We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can we have a tasting?
Tell us you’d like a tasting when you enquire, and we will talk you through it.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella is served quickly to many guests. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
