Wedding paella catering in Sunninghill, made fresh on the day
Paella has a natural rhythm: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it is best served straight away. We time it around your speeches and photos. For weddings in a marquee or garden and weddings with lots of dietary needs, we can cook Spanish desserts, table tapas and canapé tapas and more.
A farm or garden wedding near Sunninghill suits live paella. We need level ground and access. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.

How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. In Sunninghill, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, 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.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
How to prepare
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Plan cover in case of rain

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
