About our wedding paella catering in Snargate
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous and celebratory. On the menu are evening paella, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings with a Spanish theme and vow renewals and civil ceremonies.
A wedding in a small place like Snargate often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.

Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

Planning the cooking area
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. For a summer wedding in Snargate, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally 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.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
