Wedding paella catering in Turville, cooked live
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. Typical bookings include food for evening guests and weddings in a marquee or garden, with canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and table tapas.
Rural weddings around Turville have a magic of their own, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.

Turville: your questions answered
Is Turville too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
What if photos overrun?
Tell us and we will adjust. We keep in touch with your venue on the day so the paella is served fresh.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you cater the whole day?
Yes. We can do canapés, tapas, the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Yes. Add your suppliers to the final numbers and we will plan for them.

Is live paella right for your wedding?
A buffet can leave food sitting out. Paella is served hot from the pan when guests are ready. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.

- We cover Turville and the whole of Oxfordshire
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan

See Our prices page Or The cost guide.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Enquire early for peak dates
If things run late, and we’ll adapt the timing so it is still served fresh.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests usually gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. For a summer wedding in Turville, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. 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.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
