Wedding paella catering in East Langdon, made fresh on the day
The smell of saffron and garlic drifting across a garden or barn gets guests excited about the meal. For garden and marquee weddings and food for evening guests, we can cook canapé tapas, evening paella and Spanish desserts and more.
A wedding in a small place like East Langdon frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. In East Langdon, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
Before we arrive

Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Enquire early for peak dates
- Send us the running order and speech times
On the day, we liaise with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you don’t have to.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
