Wedding paella catering for Temple events
Wedding paella catering in Temple, cooked live
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. We are often asked to cater rustic barn weddings and garden and marquee weddings, with Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas.
A wedding in a small place like Temple frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Is live paella right for your wedding?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and suits a relaxed style. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
