Wedding paella catering near Wokingham
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you do not have to.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Wokingham
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. Typical bookings include civil partnerships and vow renewals and food for evening guests, with evening paella, Spanish desserts and a paella wedding breakfast.
Wedding receptions in and around Wokingham often use a hotel, a hired venue or a family garden. Whichever you choose, we’ll agree the cooking spot with the venue. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Paella compared with other options
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Common questions in Wokingham
How far is Wokingham from London?
About 33 miles from central London.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you take everything away?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you cover Wokingham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Wokingham is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.

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 keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
