About our wedding paella catering in North Mundham
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. We are frequently asked to cater barn and farm weddings and relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts, serving table tapas, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
Rural weddings around North Mundham have a magic of their own, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Paella compared with other options
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Separate paella pans cover every diet. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
