Wedding paella catering in Nash Lee, made fresh on the day
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. Whether it’s rustic barn weddings and relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts, we will put together a menu of evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas.
A wedding in a small place like Nash Lee often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

A closer look at the menu
Evening paella
Evening paella is hot, filling and fun.
Desserts
Spanish desserts from churros to crema catalana, or your cake as dessert.
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Nash Lee questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
What if our speeches run late?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day so the paella is served fresh.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.

If you are marrying at a church near Nash Lee, such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, a reception in a garden, marquee or hired venue nearby keeps the day flowing: the paella can be cooking while you have photos taken, so it’s ready as guests arrive.

What wedding paella catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether you need crockery
- Your choice of paellas
- How long we’re needed on site
- Parking and unloading
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The date and rough timings
- Expected numbers
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
