Wedding paella catering in Honey Hill, cooked live
We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. We’re often asked to cater blessings and vow renewals and receptions after an intimate ceremony, serving evening paella, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.
A wedding in a small place like Honey Hill often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.
Live paella or other catering?
Compared with formal catering, live paella is relaxed and sociable, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. In Honey Hill, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Have a level space ready for the pans

What else we do in Honey Hill
DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
FAQs for Honey Hill
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Cosmus and St Damian?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you come out to small places like Honey Hill?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater the whole day?
Yes. We can do canapés, tapas, the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes, it makes life easier. Put us in touch and we’ll agree the details.
How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
