At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. Popular choices include evening paella, Spanish desserts and a paella wedding breakfast, and typical bookings are for blessings and vow renewals and evening food for extra guests.
Rural weddings around Walter's Ash have a magic of their own, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Walter's Ash questions
What’s the nearest station to Walter's Ash for guests?
Saunderton station, about 1.5 miles west of the centre.
Is Walter's Ash close to London?
About 32 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you offer tastings?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we will talk you through it.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you cater in Walter's Ash?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Walter's Ash is within our area and the rest of Buckinghamshire. For a quote, use our quote form.
Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Canapé tapas
- Table tapas
- Evening paella
- Sangria & bar staff
- Paella wedding breakfast

Paella compared with other options
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Paella covers them with separate pans. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

How we price wedding paella catering

- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

How the day works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand.

Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
