Live wedding paella catering in Broomhill
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
- Enquire early for peak dates
- Count day and evening guests separately
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we’ll adapt the timing so it’s still served fresh.
Table tapas make a sociable starter.
How our wedding paella catering works in Broomhill
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. For rustic barn weddings and sharing-style wedding meals, we’ll put together a menu of Spanish desserts, table tapas and canapé tapas for your guests.
Near Broomhill, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Dishes our guests love
Paella wedding breakfast
Paellas for every guest, served straight from the pan.
Canapé tapas
Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. In Broomhill, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain

What wedding paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Guest numbers
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Waiting and bar staff
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
