Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Troy Town
Paella has a natural rhythm: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We time it around your speeches and photos. Typical bookings include relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts and parties after a register office wedding, serving evening paella, Spanish desserts and a paella wedding breakfast.
A wedding in a small place like Troy Town frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.
The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. At midsummer, sunset in Troy Town is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Common questions in Troy Town
Do you come out to small places like Troy Town?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is Troy Town close to London?
About 21 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What if the timings change?
We plan for it. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it is served at its best.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from canapés to evening food.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Separate paella pans cover every diet. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Prices and what affects them
