Wedding paella catering in Beansheaf Farm
How our wedding paella catering works in Beansheaf Farm
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. Typical bookings include vow renewals and civil ceremonies and farm and barn venues, with canapé tapas, evening paella and table tapas.
In Beansheaf Farm, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. A giant pan on the lawn fits right in. Tell us about access to the field or garden. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
We normally set up where guests can watch, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
We can provide crockery and waiting staff if your venue doesn’t.
For planners, venues and organisers
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
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.

- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before you book.
