Wedding paella catering for Beauworth events
Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Share your running order, including speeches
Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, typically timed after the first dance.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
How our wedding paella catering works in Beauworth
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. On the menu are evening paella, Spanish desserts and table tapas, and typical bookings are for big weddings with every diet and destination-style celebrations at home.
Near Beauworth, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. Larger events usually cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

How the day works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. For a summer wedding in Beauworth, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan each course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
