Live wedding paella catering in Stubbings
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
How our wedding paella catering works in Stubbings
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. On the menu are a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and canapé tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater blessings and vow renewals and informal wedding breakfasts.
Rural weddings around Stubbings have a magic of their own, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras.

Is live paella right for your wedding?
Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

Dishes our guests love
Table tapas
A tapas starter gets tables talking.
Paella wedding breakfast
The main event: paellas for every diet, served hot and generous.
How the day works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. For a summer wedding in Stubbings, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

The closest is Furze Platt station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St. James the Less?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
What about supplier meals?
Just add them to your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes, it makes life easier. Introduce us and we will sort the details.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
Yes. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
