Wedding paella catering in Blue Town, made fresh on the day
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. We are frequently asked to cater weddings with mixed diets and sharing-style wedding meals, with Spanish desserts, evening paella and a paella wedding breakfast.
A farm or garden wedding near Blue Town suits live paella. We need level ground and access. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.
Dishes our guests love
Desserts
A sweet finish: churros, crema catalana or your wedding cake.
Canapé tapas
Small bites carried round on boards while guests mingle, ideal for the drinks reception.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book 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.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Guest numbers
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Your choice of paellas
- Distance and access to the venue
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Roughly how many adults and children
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Book early for summer Saturdays
We clear our cooking area away afterwards; staff you’ve booked stay as agreed.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.

FAQs for Blue Town

What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. In Blue Town, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- First, we check your date.
