Our wedding paella catering in the Isle of Wight

The smell of saffron and garlic drifting across a garden or barn gets guests excited about the meal. Typical bookings include big weddings with every diet and destination-style celebrations at home, with a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and evening paella.

When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule.

Planning a paella wedding in the Isle of Wight

With 102 villages and hamlets as well as Newport, Ryde and Cowes, the Isle of Wight has plenty of countryside wedding settings. Whatever you choose, we agree the cooking spot with your venue. Around 116 places in the Isle of Wight are close to the coast, so we often plan a sheltered cooking spot for the wind.

Newport: Couples marrying at local churches such as The Man in the Moon frequently hold the reception nearby: the paella can be cooking while you have photos taken, so it is ready as guests arrive. If you are hoping for photos in Seaclose Park, check whether the park needs permission for photography or gatherings. Golden-hour photos in Newport at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.

Planning for every diet

Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:

Send us the running order and speech times
Give us separate day and evening numbers
Introduce us to your venue coordinator
Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers

Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff, whichever suits your day.

Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Choosing between paella and a traditional menu?, consider your venue, diets and the style you want.

DIY paella versus live catering

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Before you choose a spot

No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:

Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
A safe distance from anything that could catch
Access for unloading near the cooking spot

Planners, venues and businesses

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

The Isle of Wight questions

When should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.

Do you offer halal options?

Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.

Do you cook inside?

Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.

Will you talk to our venue?

Of course. We are happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.

How much is live paella catering?

We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a price.

Who clears up?

We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

How do you work out quantities?

Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
