About our wedding paella catering in Cranbrook Common
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. Popular choices include table tapas, evening paella and a paella wedding breakfast, and typical bookings are for spanish-themed and destination-style weddings and sharing-style wedding meals.
A wedding in a small place like Cranbrook Common often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

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:
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff, whichever suits your day.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
Common questions in Cranbrook Common

DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
The process
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. In Cranbrook Common, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
