How our wedding paella catering works in Golden Cross
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. Popular choices include table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas, and we’re regularly asked to cater big weddings with every diet and farm and barn venues.
A wedding in a small place like Golden Cross 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. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. In Golden Cross, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
