How our wedding paella catering works in Bentley Heath
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous and celebratory. For weddings in a marquee or garden and civil partnerships and vow renewals, we will put together a menu of table tapas, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
Couples in Bentley Heath frequently marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Live paella works well at both, as long as there’s a ventilated spot to cook. In London, parking and loading need planning early. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras.

The process
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a summer wedding in Bentley Heath, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
