Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Sheet's Heath
Saffron and garlic in the air has everyone looking forward to dinner long before it is served. Typical bookings include garden and marquee weddings and vow renewals and civil ceremonies, with evening paella, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.
A wedding in a small place like Sheet's Heath often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Can I cook paella for a crowd 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.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
