How our wedding paella catering works in Hinton Waldrist
Evening paella is a favourite: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. Popular choices include table tapas, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and typical bookings are for rustic barn weddings and weddings with a Spanish theme.
A wedding in a small place like Hinton Waldrist frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Book early for summer Saturdays
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we’ll adapt the timing so it’s still served fresh.
We can provide crockery and waiting staff if your venue does not.
