How our wedding paella catering works in Witney
The smell of saffron and garlic drifting across a garden or barn has everyone looking forward to dinner long before it is served. We’re frequently asked to cater parties after a register office wedding and barn and farm weddings, serving evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas.
For a wedding in Witney, a marquee in a family garden or a hall with outside space keeps things personal. Live paella fits that style. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Witney: your questions answered
Is Witney close to London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Witney Congregational Church?
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.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you cover Witney?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Witney is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Paella compared with other options
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Separate paella pans cover every diet. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Why us?
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch

DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
