Wedding paella catering in Cranford, cooked live
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. Typical bookings include destination-style celebrations at home and relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts, with a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and table tapas.
In Cranford, getting guests from ceremony to reception is part of the plan. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, ready to serve on arrival. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, never made in advance and reheated.

Paella compared with other options
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.

Yes, include them in your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.

Of course. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you supply plates?

The process
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over. For a summer wedding in Cranford, 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 generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- 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 pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
How to prepare
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
