About our wedding paella catering in Bradwell

Paella as evening food is popular: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so the party keeps going. Popular choices include a paella wedding breakfast, evening paella and canapé tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater marquee and garden weddings and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings.

A wedding in a small place like Bradwell frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Ask us when you enquire and we will explain the options.

What if photos overrun?

It happens. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it is served at its best.

Can we add tapas or canapés?

Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.

DIY paella versus live catering

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. 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.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Step by step

A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. In Bradwell, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.

  1. We check availability for your date.
  2. You pick the courses and dishes.
  3. We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
  4. The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
  5. We serve and clear our cooking area.

Before we arrive

  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
  • Leave space around the cooking area

Why book with us

  • Live cooking, not reheated food
  • Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
  • A quote that spells everything out
  • Starters and desserts to complete the menu

  • Travel, parking and access
  • Waiting and bar staff
  • How long we’re needed on site

  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
