Common questions in Wolverton
Do you come out to small places like Wolverton?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Catherine?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
Can we have a tasting?
Ask us about tastings when you get in touch.
Do you cover Wolverton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Wolverton. For a quote, use our quote form.
Should we have more than one paella?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
About our wedding paella catering in Wolverton
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. Typical bookings include rustic barn weddings and blessings and vow renewals, serving table tapas, canapé tapas and evening paella.
A wedding in a small place like Wolverton frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Timings and hours
- Travel, parking and access
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can fill in our quote form.
