Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Scarborough
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. Typical bookings include sharing-style wedding meals and destination-style celebrations at home, serving canapé tapas, evening paella and table tapas.
Near Scarborough, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. Golden-hour photos in Scarborough at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
If things run late, and we will adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh.
We can provide crockery and waiting staff.
