How our wedding paella catering works in Pusey
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. Popular choices include a paella wedding breakfast, evening paella and table tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater blessings and vow renewals and weddings with mixed diets.
A wedding in a small place like Pusey frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

FAQs for Pusey
How far is Pusey from London?
About 61 miles from central London.
Is Pusey too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes, it makes life easier. Put us in touch and we’ll agree the details.
What about supplier meals?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Can paella feel formal?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on presentation and service.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
How it works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. In Pusey, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
