Wedding paella catering for Bevendean events
Wedding paella catering in Bevendean, made fresh on the day
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: each paella has its own pan, so every guest gets a proper hot main. Whether it is weddings with a Spanish theme and civil partnerships and vow renewals, we can cook table tapas, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts and more.
For a smaller place like Bevendean, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We will need a level spot and a way to reach it. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. For a summer wedding in Bevendean, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
Getting a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
