Wedding paella catering in Sudbury
Common questions in Sudbury
Can you cook in Preston Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
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. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Just add them to your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
Should we have more than one paella?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Can we have a tasting?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain the options.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Wedding paella catering in Sudbury, made fresh on the day
The smell of saffron and garlic drifting across a garden or barn gets guests excited about the meal. On the menu are evening paella, Spanish desserts and table tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings with mixed diets and rustic barn weddings.
For a wedding in Sudbury, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, so it’s ready when they arrive. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

Step by step
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Sudbury, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
