Wedding paella catering for Hedgerley events
How our wedding paella catering works in Hedgerley
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: every paella is cooked separately, so every guest gets a proper hot main. For food for evening guests and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings, we can cook Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella.
There is something special about a country wedding near Hedgerley, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we will adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. Golden-hour photos in Hedgerley at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

What affects the price in Hedgerley
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:

DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
