About our wedding paella catering in Newport Pagnell
Saffron and garlic in the air has everyone looking forward to dinner long before it’s served. We’re frequently asked to cater wedding receptions after a small ceremony and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings, with table tapas, canapé tapas and evening paella.
A wedding in Newport Pagnell might mean a ceremony at a local church followed by a reception in a garden, marquee or hall. That suits live paella perfectly: we can cook during the photos. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Enquire early for peak dates
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff.
Sangria and bar staff can be added.

Questions from Newport Pagnell
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Bede (Roman Catholic): can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is Newport Pagnell close to London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you cater in Newport Pagnell?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Newport Pagnell. For a quote, use our quote form.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
What if our speeches run late?
We plan for it. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it’s ready when you are.
