About our wedding paella catering in Allhallows-on-Sea
Evening paella is a favourite: it is hot, filling and quick to serve, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. We are often asked to cater informal wedding breakfasts and parties after a register office wedding, serving a paella wedding breakfast, evening paella and canapé tapas.
Near Allhallows-on-Sea, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Allhallows-on-Sea questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you come out to small places like Allhallows-on-Sea?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Yes. Add your suppliers to the final numbers and we’ll plan for them.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
