How our wedding paella catering works in Cuddington
Evening paella is a favourite: it’s hot, filling and quick to serve, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. For evening food for extra guests and farm and barn venues, we can cook canapé tapas, evening paella and a paella wedding breakfast.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Cuddington, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we will adjust the cooking so the paella is served at its best.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. In Cuddington, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
