How our wedding paella catering works in Uplees
The smell of saffron and garlic drifting across a garden or barn gets guests excited about the meal. Typical bookings include marquee and garden weddings and evening wedding food, serving a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and table tapas.
A wedding in a small place like Uplees often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Can we try the food first?
Tell us you’d like a tasting when you enquire, and we will talk you through it.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Can you cook in the rain?
