Live wedding paella catering in Silver Hill
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Silver Hill
Paella as evening food is popular: it is hot, filling and quick to serve, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. Whether it’s evening wedding food and weddings with lots of dietary needs, we can cook Spanish desserts, evening paella and canapé tapas and more.
Near Silver Hill, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
