Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Pick a serving style
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Book early for summer Saturdays
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff, whichever suits your day.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
Wedding paella catering in Combe, made fresh on the day
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: every paella is cooked separately, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. Popular choices include evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings with lots of dietary needs and weddings in a marquee or garden.
Near Combe, 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. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Combe questions
Is Combe too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Which station should guests use for Combe?
Combe station, about 0.8 miles south-east of the centre.
What if photos overrun?
Tell us and we’ll adjust. We keep in touch with your venue on the day and time the rice so it is served at its best.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Of course. Add your suppliers to the final numbers.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers

Is live paella right for your wedding?
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Separate paella pans cover every diet. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
