About our wedding paella catering in The Wrythe
Paella as evening food is popular: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so the party keeps going. We’re often asked to cater relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts and barn and farm weddings, serving evening paella, Spanish desserts and a paella wedding breakfast.
Couples in The Wrythe frequently marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. Plan parking and loading early. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Pick a serving style
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
If things run late, and we will adapt the timing so it is still served fresh.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available.
Where we can cook in The Wrythe

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. At midsummer, sunset in The Wrythe is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
