Planning an event in Bramley Green?
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
How our wedding paella catering works in Bramley Green
Paella as evening food is popular: it is hot, filling and quick to serve, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. Whether it is informal wedding breakfasts and evening wedding food, we will put together a menu of evening paella, Spanish desserts and table tapas.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Bramley Green, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Bramley Green? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Pick a serving style
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue does not.

It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can we try the food first?

How many paellas should we have?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.

Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss.
