How our wedding paella catering works in Plastow Green
We can add sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff, to suit the style of your day. Typical bookings include farm and barn venues and weddings in a marquee or garden, with a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
A wedding in a small place like Plastow Green frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

The menu, dish by dish
Paella wedding breakfast
The main event: paellas for every diet, served straight from the pan.
Table tapas
Sharing tapas breaks the ice.
Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
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.
