How our wedding paella catering works in Owlswick
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. We are frequently asked to cater weddings with lots of dietary needs and receptions after an intimate ceremony, with table tapas, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts.
Rural weddings around Owlswick have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Before you choose a spot

- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Owlswick
We are having a ceremony at Owlswick Chapel: 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come to Owlswick?
We do. We cook at events in Owlswick and across Buckinghamshire. Send us your date to check availability.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
How the day works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. Golden-hour photos in Owlswick at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Choose pan-side or table service
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Connect us with your coordinator
If things run late, and we’ll adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh.
Table tapas make a sociable starter.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
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 at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
