How our wedding paella catering works in Halfway Houses
The smell of saffron and garlic drifting across a garden or barn gets guests excited about the meal. On the menu are evening paella, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and we’re regularly asked to cater barn and farm weddings and weddings with lots of dietary needs.
For a smaller place like Halfway Houses, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level ground and access. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it is served at its best. In Halfway Houses, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
