Wedding paella catering in Horton, made fresh on the day
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 meal arrives hot and generous. Typical bookings include weddings with lots of dietary needs and destination-style celebrations at home, serving Spanish desserts, table tapas and canapé tapas.
Rural weddings around Horton have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
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:
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Choose pan-side or table service
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Table tapas make a sociable starter.

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.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Horton? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
