Wedding paella catering in Cogges
How our wedding paella catering works in Cogges
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, so the catering fits the way you want your day to feel. Typical bookings include wedding receptions after a small ceremony and barn and farm weddings, serving evening paella, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.
In Cogges, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. Paella cooked on the lawn suits that perfectly. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
The pans are often set up where guests can see them, and it makes a great photo.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.

How the day works
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 Cogges, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
