Wexham Street questions
Is Wexham Street close to London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London.
We’re having a ceremony at St Andrew's Church Centre: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on how it’s served.
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.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Wexham Street
Paella has a natural rhythm: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We plan it around your speeches and photos. For barn and farm weddings and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings, we’ll put together a menu of table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts and more.
There is something special about a country wedding near Wexham Street, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Wexham Street? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
How we price wedding paella catering
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Timings and hours
- Your choice of paellas
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The address or venue name

Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff, whichever suits your day.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.

Table tapas
Sharing tapas breaks the ice before the paella arrives.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. For a summer wedding in Wexham Street, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
