Live wedding paella catering in Upton
Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Common questions in Upton
Is Upton close to London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Laurence: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Should we have more than one paella?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Do you cover Upton?
We do. We cook at events in Upton and across Slough. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a price.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on how it is served.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.

The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and unloading
- Waiting and bar staff
- How long we are needed on site
- Guest numbers

What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, sunset in Upton is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for 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.
