Wedding paella catering for Slough Green events
About our wedding paella catering in Slough Green
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. For barn and farm weddings and food for evening guests, we can cook canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts for your guests.
Near Slough Green, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You will know exactly what’s included before you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.

Slough Green: your questions answered
How far is Slough Green from London?
About 33 miles from central London.
Is Slough Green too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.
What about pudding?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
What if the timings change?
It happens. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it’s served at its best.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.
How the day works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. For a summer wedding in Slough Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We check availability for your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
