About our wedding paella catering in Burroughs Grove
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. Typical bookings include evening wedding food and marquee and garden weddings, serving Spanish desserts, table tapas and canapé tapas.
A wedding in a small place like Burroughs Grove often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot.

How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
What if our speeches run late?
It happens. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it is ready when you are.

Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.

How the day works
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests generally gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. For a summer wedding in Burroughs Grove, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve, then pack down.
