Wedding paella catering in Nalderswood
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Nalderswood
Evening paella is a favourite: it’s hot, filling and quick to serve, so the party keeps going. For barn and farm weddings and civil partnerships and vow renewals, we can cook a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and canapé tapas and more.
Rural weddings around Nalderswood have a magic of their own, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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.

How the day works
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. For a summer wedding in Nalderswood, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Tell us where to park and unload
