How our wedding paella catering works in Pell Green
Timing is everything with paella: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it is best served right away. We plan it around your speeches and photos. Whether it is civil partnerships and vow renewals and weddings with mixed diets, we will put together a menu of table tapas, canapé tapas and evening paella for your guests.
Rural weddings around Pell Green have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Pell Green questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Rehoboth Chapel?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
What if photos overrun?
It happens. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it is ready when you are.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from canapés to evening food.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. Golden-hour photos in Pell Green at midsummer come around 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
