Live paella or other catering?

Compared with formal catering, live paella is relaxed and sociable, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

Why us?

  • Every diet catered for, pan by pan
  • Starters and desserts to complete the menu
  • We cover Naphill and the whole of Buckinghamshire
  • Served hot, straight from the pan

FAQs for Naphill

Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.

We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Botolph: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

Do you do vegan paella?

Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.

Do you come to Naphill?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Naphill is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Do you cook it at the event?

It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.

Is the paella gluten-free?

We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.

What do you need at the venue?

Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.

What about pudding?

Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.

Who books wedding paella catering in Naphill?

It fills the gap between ceremony and meal: watch the pans.

Here are some of the events we cook for:

  • Marquee and garden weddings

What wedding paella catering costs

Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:

  • Whether you need crockery
  • The number of people
  • The length of service
  • The paellas you choose

The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Getting an accurate quote

When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:

  • What the venue already provides
  • Where the event is
  • A photo of the space, if you can
  • Diets and allergies you know about

We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

How it works

We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. For a summer wedding in Naphill, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. Together we plan each course.
  3. We agree timings with you and your venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve each course.
  5. We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.

Preparing for the day

  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Have a level space ready for the pans

Dietary needs and planning tips

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:

  • Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
  • Include any suppliers you are feeding
  • Pick a serving style
  • Send us the running order and speech times

We clear our cooking area away afterwards; staff you’ve booked stay as agreed.

Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
