How our wedding paella catering works in Birch Hill
Evening paella is a favourite: it is hot, filling and quick to serve, so the party keeps going. We cook a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and table tapas, and we’re regularly asked to cater spanish-themed and destination-style weddings and receptions after an intimate ceremony.
Weddings in a place like Birch Hill often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. A huge pan on the lawn fits right in. Let us know about access for the van. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

- Give us separate day and evening numbers

Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables, whichever suits your day.

Live paella or other catering?
Choosing between paella and a traditional menu?, think about your venue, your guests’ diets and the feel of the day. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
