How our wedding paella catering works in Steventon
We can add sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff, so the catering fits the way you want your day to feel. On the menu are evening paella, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and typical bookings are for informal wedding breakfasts and evening wedding food.
Near Steventon, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Steventon
Which station should guests use for Steventon?
Didcot Parkway station, about 3.6 miles east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Steventon?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What if the timings change?
Tell us and we will adjust. We keep in touch with your venue on the day so the paella is served fresh.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Space, weather and the venue
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Evening paella
- Dessert
- Canapé tapas
- Table tapas
- Paella wedding breakfast
- Sangria & bar staff
Is live paella right for your wedding?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and suits a relaxed style. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
Why us?
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Drinks service on request
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Waiting staff and crockery on request

Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
- Put us in touch with your venue
We clear our cooking area away afterwards; any staff stay as long as agreed.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
