Why live cooking beats a buffet
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and feels more relaxed. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
What you get with us
- Real theatre, not just catering

How our wedding paella catering works in Millbridge
Saffron and garlic in the air gets guests excited about the meal long before it’s served. We cook canapé tapas, table tapas and Spanish desserts, and we are often booked for weddings with a Spanish theme and vow renewals and civil ceremonies.
A wedding in a small place like Millbridge frequently 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. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

What we need at the venue

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Step by step
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you are free to enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. In Millbridge, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
How to prepare
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Common questions in Millbridge
How far is Millbridge from London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater afterwards?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
What if photos overrun?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day so the paella is served fresh.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.
