How our wedding paella catering works in Stubbles
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. On the menu are a paella wedding breakfast, evening paella and table tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater spanish-themed and destination-style weddings and weddings with lots of dietary needs.
There is something special about a country wedding near Stubbles, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Catering for every guest

- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early

Sangria and bar staff can be added.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Common questions in Stubbles
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Clement: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Stubbles close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes. We are happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
What about supplier meals?
Of course. Include suppliers in your numbers.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Live paella or other catering?
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Paella covers them with separate pans. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
