About our wedding paella catering in Newick
Saffron and garlic in the air gets guests excited about the meal. We’re often asked to cater receptions after an intimate ceremony and weddings in a marquee or garden, with canapé tapas, table tapas and Spanish desserts.
A wedding in a small place like Newick frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
