How our wedding paella catering works in Woburn Sands
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. Popular choices include evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts, and we’re regularly asked to cater marquee and garden weddings and civil partnerships and vow renewals.
In Woburn Sands, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. A giant pan on the lawn fits right in. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

- The date and rough timings
- Where the event is

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Paella compared with other options
Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with the right extras it feels just as special. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Woburn Sands
Which station should guests use for Woburn Sands?
Woburn Sands has its own station: Woburn Sands station.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of Saint Michael: 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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Is the paella gluten-free?
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 about supplier meals?
Just add them to your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Is halal food available?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from canapés to evening food.
Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
What we offer
- Canapé tapas
- Dessert
- Table tapas
- Paella wedding breakfast
- Sangria & bar staff
- Evening paella
How it works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. At midsummer, sunset in Woburn Sands is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
