About our wedding paella catering in Stonymarsh
Timing is everything with paella: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it is best served right away. We plan it around your speeches and photos. We’re often asked to cater blessings and vow renewals and farm and barn venues, with Spanish desserts, table tapas and canapé tapas.
A wedding in a small place like Stonymarsh often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

FAQs for Stonymarsh
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Stonymarsh too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from canapés to evening food.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
What if photos overrun?
It happens. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it is served at its best.
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 will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

How it works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a summer wedding in Stonymarsh, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
