How our wedding paella catering works in Old Wolverton
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. Popular choices include Spanish desserts, table tapas and canapé tapas, and typical bookings are for barn and farm weddings and wedding receptions after a small ceremony.
In Old Wolverton, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. Paella cooked on the lawn suits that perfectly. Let us know about access for the van. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Old Wolverton: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at Holy Trinity Church: can you cater afterwards?
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. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Old Wolverton for guests?
Wolverton station, about 0.9 miles east of the centre.
Can paella feel formal?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on how it is served.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
What about pudding?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. Golden-hour photos in Old Wolverton at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
