How our wedding paella catering works in Fortis Green
Paella has a natural rhythm: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it is best served straight away. We time it around your speeches and photos. For barn and farm weddings and big weddings with every diet, we’ll put together a menu of evening paella, table tapas and Spanish desserts for your guests.
For a wedding in Fortis Green, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. Paella can be cooking while they’re on the move, so it is ready when they arrive. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

About the dishes
Evening paella
Fresh pans for evening guests, served quickly so the party keeps going.
Desserts
Spanish desserts from churros to crema catalana.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Fortis Green? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
