Live wedding paella catering in Nash Street
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Wedding paella catering in Nash Street, cooked live
Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous and celebratory. We are often asked to cater weddings with a Spanish theme and garden and marquee weddings, with canapé tapas, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.
A wedding in a small place like Nash Street often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The paellas you choose
- Waiting and bar staff
- How long we are needed on site
- How many courses
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The date and rough timings
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field

How it works
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. In Nash Street, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Plan cover in case of rain

- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we’ll adapt the timing so it’s still served fresh.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
