Wedding paella catering in Breamore, made fresh on the day
Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. For relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts and evening wedding food, we’ll put together a menu of canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts.
Near Breamore, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
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.

How we price wedding paella catering
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we are needed on site
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Guest numbers
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. In Breamore, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:05pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan each course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Share the running order, including any speeches
