Wedding paella catering near Bobbing
Wedding paella catering in Bobbing, cooked live
We can add sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff, so the catering fits the way you want your day to feel. For destination-style celebrations at home and wedding receptions after a small ceremony, we can cook table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella and more.
A wedding in a small place like Bobbing often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. In Bobbing, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Choose pan-side or table service
- Put us in touch with your venue
We clear our cooking area away afterwards; any staff stay as long as agreed.
We can provide crockery and waiting staff if your venue doesn’t.
