About our wedding paella catering in Little Milton
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. Popular choices include Spanish desserts, evening paella and canapé tapas, and typical bookings are for weddings in a marquee or garden and weddings with mixed diets.
A wedding in a small place like Little Milton often 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. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables, whichever suits your day.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.
How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. Golden-hour photos in Little Milton at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:

Live paella or other catering?
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Separate paella pans cover every diet. Larger events usually cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
