Wedding paella catering for Glympton events

Step by step

A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Glympton, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. We check availability for your date.
  2. You pick the courses and dishes.
  3. We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
  4. The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
  5. We serve and clear our cooking area.

How to prepare

  • Check the venue allows live cooking
  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot

How our wedding paella catering works in Glympton

We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. Popular choices include evening paella, table tapas and canapé tapas, and typical bookings are for garden and marquee weddings and weddings with a Spanish theme.

A wedding in a small place like Glympton often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

  • An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

What’s in the pans

Canapé tapas

Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal, without spoiling appetites.

Evening paella

A second round of paella for the evening, quick to serve and filling.

Planning for every diet

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Tell us how many evening guests to expect
  • Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
  • Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
  • Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs

If things run late, and we’ll adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh.

Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.
