How our wedding paella catering works in Grandpont
Paella as evening food is popular: it’s hot, filling and quick to serve, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. Whether it is receptions after an intimate ceremony and destination-style celebrations at home, we can cook table tapas, evening paella and canapé tapas.
A farm or garden wedding near Grandpont suits live paella. We need level ground and access. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, never made in advance and reheated.

Grandpont questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Matthew's?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook in Raleigh Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
How do you work out quantities?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Can paella feel formal?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on how it’s served.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.

The menu, dish by dish
Paella wedding breakfast
A choice of paellas, served at the pans or to the tables.
Desserts
A sweet finish: Spanish desserts or your own cake.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
