Live wedding paella catering in Stonehill
Wedding paella catering in Stonehill, made fresh on the day
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts. For vow renewals and civil ceremonies and parties after a register office wedding, we can cook evening paella, Spanish desserts and table tapas.
A wedding in a small place like Stonehill often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

For event organisers in Stonehill
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Space, weather and the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Stonehill
We are having a ceremony at Christ Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Stonehill close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
Fresh pans can be cooked for evening guests, normally timed after the first dance.
Table tapas make a sociable starter.
