How our wedding paella catering works in New Haw
We can add sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff, so the catering fits the way you want your day to feel. We are often asked to cater big weddings with every diet and parties after a register office wedding, with Spanish desserts, table tapas and canapé tapas.
A farm or garden wedding near New Haw suits live paella. We will need a level spot and a way to reach it. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
Why choose live paella in New Haw?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Fast service from the pan
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Drinks service on request

The process
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a summer wedding in New Haw, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- 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, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day

We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.

Can you cater a reception after a service at All Saints Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.

Do you offer halal options?
