Wedding paella catering in Northbridge Street, made fresh on the day
Timing is everything with paella: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We time it around your speeches and photos. We’re frequently asked to cater weddings with lots of dietary needs and garden and marquee weddings, serving Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and evening paella.
Near Northbridge Street, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
