About our wedding paella catering in High Brooms
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. We are often asked to cater civil partnerships and vow renewals and relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts, serving canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and evening paella.
In High Brooms, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. Paella cooked on the lawn suits that perfectly. Let us know about access for the van. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Pick a serving style
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
On the day, we liaise with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.

The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. In High Brooms, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve, then pack down.
