Wedding paella catering in Sepham Heath, made fresh on the day
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: each paella has its own pan, so every guest gets a proper hot main. Whether it’s spanish-themed and destination-style weddings and farm and barn venues, we can cook Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas for your guests.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Sepham Heath, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
If things run late, and we’ll adjust the cooking so the paella is served at its best.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.
