Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Albury Heath
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. On the menu are table tapas, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas, and typical bookings are for vow renewals and civil ceremonies and weddings in a marquee or garden.
There is something special about a country wedding near Albury Heath, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.

The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. In Albury Heath, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
