Wedding paella catering near Brimpton
How our wedding paella catering works in Brimpton
The smell of saffron and garlic drifting across a garden or barn gets guests excited about the meal long before it is served. We cook a paella wedding breakfast, evening paella and Spanish desserts, and we’re often booked for civil partnerships and vow renewals and receptions after an intimate ceremony.
A wedding in a small place like Brimpton frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.

Is live paella right for your wedding?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from the drinks reception to the evening.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
What happens on the day
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For a summer wedding in Brimpton, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
