About our wedding paella catering in Fullerton
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: every paella is cooked separately, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. For receptions after an intimate ceremony and garden and marquee weddings, we will put together a menu of canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas.
Near Fullerton, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests generally gather round to watch while it cooks. In Fullerton, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Fullerton questions
Is Fullerton close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is halal food available?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
We can. We can do canapés, tapas, the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts.
Can paella feel formal?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on presentation and service.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Do you offer tastings?
Ask us about tastings when you get in touch.
