Wedding paella catering in Earlswood, made fresh on the day

We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. Whether it’s farm and barn venues and wedding receptions after a small ceremony, we will put together a menu of a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and evening paella for your guests.

For a smaller place like Earlswood, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We will need a level spot and a way to reach it. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

Working with your venue

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Organising a club, school or community event in Earlswood? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

The process

The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, sunset in Earlswood is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. We plan your menu course by course.
  3. Timings are agreed with your venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve each course.
  5. We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.

Preparing for the day

  • Plan cover in case of rain
  • Tell us where to park and unload
  • Have a level space ready for the pans
