About our wedding paella catering in Curbridge
Timing is everything with paella: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it’s best served straight away. We time it around your speeches and photos. Popular choices include a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and canapé tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater informal wedding breakfasts and rustic barn weddings.
Rural weddings around Curbridge have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

Curbridge questions
Do you come out to small places like Curbridge?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Is halal food available?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
