Live wedding paella catering in New Denham

Wedding paella catering in New Denham, made fresh on the day

A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. We cook evening paella, table tapas and canapé tapas, and typical bookings are for sharing-style wedding meals and parties after a register office wedding.

There’s something special about a country wedding near New Denham, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

How the day works

When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell normally draws people over. Golden-hour photos in New Denham at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. We plan your menu course by course.
  3. We agree timings with you and your venue.

Planning the cooking area

Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:

  • A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • The venue’s permission for live cooking

Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Popular choices

  • Canapé tapas
  • Sangria & bar staff

  • Table tapas
  • Evening paella

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Live paella or other catering?

Compared with formal catering, live paella is relaxed and sociable, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Why us?

  • Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
  • Hot food served quickly from the pan
  • Waiting staff and crockery on request
  • Food that becomes part of the entertainment
