Live wedding paella catering in Taplow

The process

We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. For a summer wedding in Taplow, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
  2. Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
  3. We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
  4. On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
  5. We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.

Preparing for the day

  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area

About the dishes

Evening paella

Evening paella is hot, filling and fun.

Paella wedding breakfast

A choice of paellas, served at the pans or to the tables.

Is live paella right for your wedding?

Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.

  • Sangria and bar staff available
