Wedding paella catering in Adisham, made fresh on the day
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: each paella has its own pan, so every guest gets a proper hot main. We are often asked to cater garden and marquee weddings and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings, with Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and table tapas.
Near Adisham, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Paella compared with other options
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

What happens on the day
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. For a summer wedding in Adisham, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
