How our wedding paella catering works in Bourne End
Paella has a natural rhythm: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it is best served straight away. We time it around your speeches and photos. On the menu are table tapas, Spanish desserts and a paella wedding breakfast, and we are regularly asked to cater farm and barn venues and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings.
For a smaller place like Bourne End, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level ground and access. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. In Bourne End, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
How to prepare
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Tell us where to park and unload

Evening paella

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
