About our wedding paella catering in Bradwell
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. Popular choices include a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and evening paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater informal wedding breakfasts and destination-style celebrations at home.
For a smaller place like Bradwell, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level ground and access. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

How we price wedding paella catering
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Timings and hours
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need crockery
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The address or venue name
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Book early for summer Saturdays
We generally set up where guests can watch, and it makes a great photo.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.
How it works
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. At midsummer, sunset in Bradwell is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.

- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.

Bradwell questions
Could we have live paella in South Loughton Valley park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Lawrence: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
Yes. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
Do you cover Bradwell?
Yes, we do. Bradwell is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Dessert
- Canapé tapas
- Paella wedding breakfast
- Evening paella
- Table tapas
- Sangria & bar staff

What else we do in Bradwell
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
