Wedding paella catering for Wigginton events
About our wedding paella catering in Wigginton
We can add sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff, so the catering fits the way you want your day to feel. For informal wedding breakfasts and weddings with mixed diets, we will put together a menu of evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas.
There is something special about a country wedding near Wigginton, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
What’s in the pans
Evening paella
Evening paella is hot, filling and fun, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.
Paella wedding breakfast
A choice of paellas, served at the pans or to the tables.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and feels more relaxed. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What you get with us
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Catering across Oxfordshire, including Wigginton
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
How we price wedding paella catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether you need crockery
- Timings and hours
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- How many staff you need
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The date and rough timings
- What the venue already provides
- Where the event is
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

We cook right across the region, from Wigginton to Oxford (about 19 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Broughton Castle (3.5 miles north-east). Historic houses and estates frequently have their own rules on caterers and cooking, so check early if that is your venue. Woodford Bottom and Lamb's Pool nearby makes a lovely backdrop for photos.

Wigginton: your questions answered
Is Wigginton too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is Wigginton close to London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from the drinks reception to the evening.
Do you cater in Wigginton?
We do. We cook at events in Wigginton and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
What about supplier meals?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
What if photos overrun?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day so the paella is served fresh.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
Fresh pans can be cooked for evening guests, generally timed after the first dance.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
What happens on the day
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. At midsummer, sunset in Wigginton is about 9:30pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
