About our wedding paella catering in Upper Eddington
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: every paella is cooked separately, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. For evening wedding food and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings, we can cook evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas.
Near Upper Eddington, 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 pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

What affects the price in Upper Eddington
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Parking and unloading
- Your choice of paellas
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Waiting and bar staff
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes. We’re happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.

A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can paella feel formal?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on how it’s served.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Book early for summer Saturdays
If things run late, and we will adjust the cooking so the paella is served at its best.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.
Live paella or other catering?
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Paella covers them with separate pans. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
