Live wedding paella catering in Wickham Heath
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Wickham Heath
Evening paella is a favourite: it is hot, filling and quick to serve, so the party keeps going. We cook Spanish desserts, table tapas and canapé tapas, and we are often booked for sharing-style wedding meals and wedding receptions after a small ceremony.
A wedding in a small place like Wickham Heath often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. Golden-hour photos in Wickham Heath at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- 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.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Have a level space ready for the pans

Wickham Heath questions
How far is Wickham Heath from London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are having a ceremony at Parish Church of St Andrew: 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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you cover Wickham Heath?
We do. Wickham Heath is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Of course. We will speak to your venue about access and timings.

Why choose live paella in Wickham Heath?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Why Wickham Heath hosts choose us
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Hot food served quickly from the pan

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Your choice of paellas
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Distance and access to the venue
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
