Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Milton Heights
Evening paella is a favourite: it’s hot, filling and quick to serve, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. Popular choices include canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and table tapas, and typical bookings are for sharing-style wedding meals and weddings in a marquee or garden.
Near Milton Heights, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Canapé tapas
Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal.
How the day works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. For a summer wedding in Milton Heights, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, 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 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
How to prepare
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
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. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
