Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Golden Pot
The smell of saffron and garlic drifting across a garden or barn gets guests excited about the meal. We cook a paella wedding breakfast, 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 Golden Pot frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
