Wedding paella catering for Cambridge Heath events
How our wedding paella catering works in Cambridge Heath
Paella as evening food is popular: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. Whether it’s parties after a register office wedding and civil partnerships and vow renewals, we will put together a menu of Spanish desserts, evening paella and a paella wedding breakfast for your guests.
Couples in Cambridge Heath often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Live paella works well at both, as long as there is a ventilated spot to cook. Plan parking and loading early. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Questions from Cambridge Heath
What’s the nearest station to Cambridge Heath for guests?
Cambridge Heath has its own station: Cambridge Heath station.
Is parking a problem for events in Cambridge Heath?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes, it makes life easier. Put us in touch and we’ll agree the details.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Can paella feel formal?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on presentation and service.
Live paella or other catering?
Compared with formal catering, live paella is relaxed and sociable, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before you book.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Put us in touch with your venue
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you do not have to.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
For event organisers in Cambridge Heath
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Step by step
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. For a summer wedding in Cambridge Heath, the sun sets at about 9:20pm 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. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
