How our wedding paella catering works in Kings Worthy
We can add sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff, to suit the style of your day. For farm and barn venues and evening food for extra guests, we can cook evening paella, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts.
Near Kings Worthy, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
The process
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. In Kings Worthy, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Make sure we can park close by to unload

Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How long we’re needed on site
- The paellas you choose
- Travel, parking and access
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

These details help us quote quickly:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts

DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Working with your venue
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
