Couples marrying at local churches such as Church of All Saints often hold the reception nearby: the paella can be cooking while you have photos taken, so it’s ready as guests arrive. For guests travelling by train, the nearest station is Charlbury station, about 1.5 miles south.
Wherever your wedding is in OX7, we can cook for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Quickset Close and Chadlington Road or a nearby road, we’ll bring the pans to you.

The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you’re free to enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. For a summer wedding in Spelsbury, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm 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’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
