How our wedding paella catering works in North Heath
Evening paella is a favourite: it’s hot, filling and quick to serve, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. Popular choices include table tapas, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and we’re regularly asked to cater farm and barn venues and marquee and garden weddings.
A wedding in a small place like North Heath frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Live paella or other catering?
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Separate paella pans cover every diet. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Paella wedding breakfast
Paellas for every guest, served hot and generous.
How it works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. For a summer wedding in North Heath, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote.
