About our wedding paella catering in Spanish Green
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. Popular choices include table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts, and we’re regularly asked to cater weddings with lots of dietary needs and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings.
Rural weddings around Spanish Green have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

What’s in the pans
Paella wedding breakfast
Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables.
Table tapas
Tapas set out on every table to share, from bravas to croquetas and Manchego.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one

The pans are frequently set up where guests can see them, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.

The process
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. Golden-hour photos in Spanish Green at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Questions from Spanish Green
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Blessed Virgin?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you come out to small places like Spanish Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can we have a tasting?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we’ll explain how it works.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
What about supplier meals?
Yes. Include suppliers in your numbers and we’ll plan for them.
For event organisers in Spanish Green
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
