How our wedding paella catering works in Palestine
Evening paella is a favourite: it’s hot, filling and quick to serve, so the party keeps going. For barn and farm weddings and receptions after an intimate ceremony, we’ll put together a menu of table tapas, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast for your guests.
Near Palestine, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
On the day, we liaise with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you do not have to.
Sangria and bar staff can be added.
What we need at the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. For a summer wedding in Palestine, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
