About our wedding paella catering in Send
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: every paella is cooked separately, so every guest gets a proper hot main. Popular choices include table tapas, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater receptions after an intimate ceremony and destination-style celebrations at home.
For a smaller place like Send, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground and access. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

Step by step
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests generally gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. For a summer wedding in Send, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Give us a contact for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
