How our wedding paella catering works in North Baddesley
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. Whether it is receptions after an intimate ceremony and marquee and garden weddings, we can cook a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and canapé tapas and more.
Weddings in a place like North Baddesley often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. Paella cooked on the lawn suits that perfectly. Tell us about access to the field or garden. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. For a summer wedding in North Baddesley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
