Wedding paella catering in Wineham, cooked live
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: every paella is cooked separately, so every guest gets a proper hot main. Whether it’s weddings with a Spanish theme and civil partnerships and vow renewals, we can cook evening paella, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast for your guests.
Rural weddings around Wineham have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Is live paella right for your wedding?
A buffet can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Hot food served quickly from the pan

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. In Wineham, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Give us a contact for the day

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
What affects the price in Wineham
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many courses
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, use our quote form.
