Wedding paella catering for Nag's Head events
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Nag's Head
Timing is everything with paella: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We time it around your speeches and photos. Typical bookings include sharing-style wedding meals and farm and barn venues, with canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and evening paella.
In Nag's Head, getting guests from ceremony to reception is part of the plan. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, ready to serve on arrival. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Planning help
Planning the cooking area
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
As a London location, Nag's Head is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What affects the price in Nag's Head
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The paellas you choose

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
