Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Beltring

There is something special about a country wedding near Beltring, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.
The process
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Beltring, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
