Wedding paella catering in Newtown, cooked live
Paella as evening food is popular: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so the party keeps going. For receptions after an intimate ceremony and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings, we can cook canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and evening paella for your guests.
Weddings in a place like Newtown often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. A huge pan on the lawn fits right in. Let us know about access for the van. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
Questions from Newtown
Can you cater a reception after a service at Christ Church?
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.

About 49 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain the options.
Will you talk to our venue?
Of course. We are happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Choose pan-side or table service
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Send us the running order and speech times
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
Planning the cooking area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
