Live wedding paella catering in Pyrford Village
Wedding paella catering in Pyrford Village, made fresh on the day
Timing is everything with paella: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it’s best served right away. We plan it around your speeches and photos. Typical bookings include wedding receptions after a small ceremony and farm and barn venues, with a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and evening paella.
A wedding in a small place like Pyrford Village often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Choose pan-side or table service
- Enquire early for peak dates
The pans are often set up where guests can see them, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
If you are weighing up paella against a traditional menu, think about your venue, your guests’ diets and the feel of the day. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What you get with us
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Sangria and bar staff available
