About our wedding paella catering in Marsh Green
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. We cook a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and evening paella, and we are regularly asked to cater spanish-themed and destination-style weddings and weddings with mixed diets.
A wedding in a small place like Marsh Green frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Marsh Green: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Marsh Green?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Mary's Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Do you work with our venue?
Of course. We will speak to your venue about access and timings.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
Yes. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.
What affects the price in Marsh Green

Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A picture of where we’d cook
- What the venue already provides
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, use our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Pick a serving style
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Tell us when speeches will be
After service, we pack down our cooking area; any staff stay as long as agreed.
Sangria and bar staff can be added.
