How our wedding paella catering works in Newtown
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous and celebratory. We cook canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas, and we’re regularly asked to cater informal wedding breakfasts and weddings with a Spanish theme.
A farm or garden wedding near Newtown suits live paella. We need level ground and access. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Paella compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Paella covers them with separate pans. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Before you choose a spot

- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
