Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Clanfield
Timing is everything with paella: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it is best served right away. We plan it around your speeches and photos. Popular choices include Spanish desserts, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and we’re regularly asked to cater evening food for extra guests and weddings in a marquee or garden.
A wedding in a small place like Clanfield frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Choose pan-side or table service
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you don’t have to.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
