How our wedding paella catering works in Pearson's Green
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. We are frequently asked to cater weddings with a Spanish theme and relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts, with Spanish desserts, table tapas and canapé tapas.
Near Pearson's Green, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. At midsummer, sunset in Pearson's Green is about 9:15pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
