Wedding paella catering in Glassenbury
Wedding paella catering in Glassenbury, made fresh on the day
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, to suit the style of your day. We cook Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and evening paella, and typical bookings are for weddings with lots of dietary needs and civil partnerships and vow renewals.
Rural weddings around Glassenbury have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Put us in touch with your venue
If things run late, and we’ll adjust the cooking so the paella is served at its best.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.

Where we can cook in Glassenbury
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
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.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. For a summer wedding in Glassenbury, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
