How our wedding paella catering works in Jordans
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. For weddings with mixed diets and wedding receptions after a small ceremony, we can cook Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and table tapas for your guests.
Rural weddings around Jordans have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Why choose wedding paella catering in Jordans?
It fills the gap between ceremony and meal: watch the pans.

- Informal wedding breakfasts

Is live paella right for your wedding?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Jordans
Is Jordans too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station should guests use for Jordans?
The closest is Seer Green & Jordans station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes. We are happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
How the day works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. For a summer wedding in Jordans, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, 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 3:55pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
