Wedding paella catering in Netherton

Wedding paella catering in Netherton, made fresh on the day

A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: every paella is cooked separately, so every guest gets a proper hot main. We cook a paella wedding breakfast, evening paella and table tapas, and we’re frequently booked for weddings with a Spanish theme and evening food for extra guests.

A wedding in a small place like Netherton often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.

Organising for someone else?

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.

Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.

DIY paella versus live catering

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

Paella compared with other options

Food vans can create long queues. Paella is served quickly to many guests. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

Why book with us

  • Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
  • Events in Netherton and across Oxfordshire
  • Fast service from the pan
  • A quote that spells everything out

Planning help

Planning for every diet

Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:

  • Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
  • Pick a serving style
  • Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
  • Enquire early for peak dates

Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables.

Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.

Dishes our guests love

Before you choose a spot

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

  • A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

What we offer

  • Sangria & bar staff
  • Dessert
  • Table tapas
  • Paella wedding breakfast
  • Canapé tapas
  • Evening paella

Common questions in Netherton

Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Do you come out to small places like Netherton?

No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Is it really cooked live?

Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.

Do you do canapés and evening food too?

Yes. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

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. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
