How our wedding paella catering works in South Street
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous and celebratory. We cook evening paella, Spanish desserts and a paella wedding breakfast, and we’re regularly asked to cater farm and barn venues and marquee and garden weddings.
A wedding in a small place like South Street often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
Step by step
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. Golden-hour photos in South Street at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.

Planning help
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
