Wedding paella catering for Singlewell or Ifield events
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. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why us?
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Sangria and bar staff available

Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Singlewell or Ifield
The smell of saffron and garlic drifting across a garden or barn gets guests excited about the meal long before it is served. We’re often asked to cater marquee and garden weddings and barn and farm weddings, serving table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts.
A wedding in a small place like Singlewell or Ifield frequently 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. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. In Singlewell or Ifield, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Getting ready for the day

Planners, venues and businesses
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Should I cook it myself?
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 will do the cooking.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Pick a serving style
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
We clear our cooking area away afterwards; any staff stay as long as agreed.
Sangria and bar staff can be added.
