About our wedding paella catering in Hangersley
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. We are often asked to cater spanish-themed and destination-style weddings and sharing-style wedding meals, serving a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and evening paella.
A wedding in a small place like Hangersley frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
Choosing between paella and a traditional menu?, consider your venue, diets and the style you want. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Send us the running order and speech times
We normally set up where guests can watch, and it makes a great photo.

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
