About our wedding paella catering in Radfield
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, so the catering fits the way you want your day to feel. For big weddings with every diet and parties after a register office wedding, we can cook Spanish desserts, evening paella and canapé tapas.
A wedding in a small place like Radfield often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Step by step
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests typically gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. For a summer wedding in Radfield, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

What affects the price in Radfield
These are the factors that matter most:
- The number of people
- Distance and access to the venue
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The length of service
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and rough timings
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Anything your venue supplies
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A buffet can leave food sitting out. Paella is served hot from the pan. Larger events usually cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- A clear, itemised quote

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
If things run late, and we’ll adjust the cooking so the paella is served at its best.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.
