About our wedding paella catering in Crondall
We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. On the menu are Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas, and we’re frequently booked for farm and barn venues and relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts.
A wedding in a small place like Crondall frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.
For event organisers in Crondall
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.

Dishes our guests love
Table tapas
Sharing tapas breaks the ice before the paella arrives.
Evening paella
A second round of paella for the evening, quick to serve and filling.
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
