Wedding paella catering in Watermill, made fresh on the day

Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, to suit the style of your day. Whether it is blessings and vow renewals and farm and barn venues, we’ll put together a menu of Spanish desserts, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast and more.

A wedding in a small place like Watermill often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.

What affects the price in Watermill

Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • Whether you need crockery
  • How many guests are eating
  • Travel, parking and access

Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

What we need to know

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • The courses you’d like
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • Diets and allergies you know about

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. Just fill in our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

For planners, venues and organisers

Organising a club, school or community event in Watermill? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.

Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

How it works

Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a summer wedding in Watermill, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm 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 is dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. Together we plan each course.
  3. Timings are agreed with your venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve each course.
  5. We clear our area; staff stay as booked.

Getting ready for the day

  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
