Wedding paella catering in Hamsey Green, made fresh on the day
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. We cook Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and we are frequently booked for wedding receptions after a small ceremony and weddings with a Spanish theme.
Near Hamsey Green, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
- Share your running order, including speeches
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.

How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is served at its best. Golden-hour photos in Hamsey Green at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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 be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
