Wedding paella catering in Longfield Hill, cooked live
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. Typical bookings include sharing-style wedding meals and destination-style celebrations at home, with Spanish desserts, evening paella and canapé tapas.
A wedding in a small place like Longfield Hill often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, 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, each in a separate pan.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
What happens on the day
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, sunset in Longfield Hill is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
