How our wedding paella catering works in Postcombe
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. Whether it’s weddings in a marquee or garden and food for evening guests, we can cook evening paella, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast and more.
A wedding in a small place like Postcombe frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Pick a serving style
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Enquire early for peak dates
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we’ll adapt the timing so the paella is served at its best.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

FAQs for Postcombe
Is Postcombe close to London?
About 40 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
How do you work out quantities?

Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.
Can we have a tasting?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from canapés to evening food.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. For a summer wedding in Postcombe, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
