How our wedding paella catering works in Seething Wells
Paella has a natural rhythm: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We time it around your speeches and photos. We’re frequently asked to cater parties after a register office wedding and destination-style celebrations at home, with table tapas, Spanish desserts and evening paella.
For a wedding in Seething Wells, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. Paella can be cooking while they’re on the move, ready to serve on arrival. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

How it works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. At midsummer, sunset in Seething Wells is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Separate paella pans cover every diet. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.

Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

Just add them to your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.

Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
What we need at the venue
