Wedding paella catering for Uxbridge events
Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
The pans are frequently set up where guests can see them, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Uxbridge
We can add sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff, so the catering fits the way you want your day to feel. Whether it’s sharing-style wedding meals and evening wedding food, we can cook table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella for your guests.

DIY paella versus live catering
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.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Occasions we cook for in Uxbridge
Sharing food gets tables chatting.
Live paella works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:
- Parties after a register office wedding

Paella compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Separate paella pans cover every diet. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why us?
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Waiting staff and crockery on request

The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. For a summer wedding in Uxbridge, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- 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.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

What wedding paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many courses
- How many guests are eating
- How many staff you need
- Travel, parking and access
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The date and time of the event
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.

Getting married in Uxbridge?

We cover all 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire. We cook right across the region, from Uxbridge to London (about 17 miles away).
If you are marrying at a church near Uxbridge, such as Church of St Andrew, a reception in a garden, marquee or hired venue nearby keeps the day flowing: we can be cooking during the photos, so the meal is ready when you arrive. Nearby historic houses include Ickenham Hall (2.2 miles north-east) and Northolt Manor (4.7 miles east). Historic houses and estates often have their own rules on caterers and cooking, so check early if that’s your venue.
Wherever your wedding is in UB8, UB10 and UB9, we can cook for your guests. Local streets include York Road, Lawn Road and How's Road; a wedding at home on any of them works well with live paella.

Uxbridge: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Uxbridge for guests?
West Drayton station, about 2.1 miles south of the centre.
How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you offer tastings?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain the options.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Somewhere close to park and unload
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
