Wedding paella catering in Town Row, cooked live
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. Typical bookings include rustic barn weddings and receptions after an intimate ceremony, with evening paella, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts.
Near Town Row, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

FAQs for Town Row
Is Town Row close to London?
About 34 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Town Row?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.

Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. At midsummer, sunset in Town Row is about 9:15pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
Ask for a quote

With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Pick a serving style
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.
Paella compared with other options
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Separate paella pans cover every diet. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
