Wedding paella catering for Newton Leys events
About our wedding paella catering in Newton Leys
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts. We are frequently asked to cater spanish-themed and destination-style weddings and marquee and garden weddings, serving evening paella, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.
For a smaller place like Newton Leys, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground and access. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

FAQs for Newton Leys
What’s the nearest station to Newton Leys for guests?
Bletchley station, about 1.4 miles north of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Water Eaton Church Centre?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
How many paellas should we have?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
What about supplier meals?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Count day and evening guests separately
We clear our cooking area away afterwards; any staff stay as long as agreed.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.
Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Organising a club, school or community event in Newton Leys? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
The process
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. In Newton Leys, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Dishes our guests love
Evening paella
Fresh pans for evening guests, served quickly so the party keeps going.
Canapé tapas
Small bites carried round on boards while guests mingle, ideal for the drinks reception.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella is served hot from the pan when guests are ready. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
