About our wedding paella catering in Three Ashes
Paella has a natural rhythm: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We plan it around your speeches and photos. We are often asked to cater weddings with a Spanish theme and evening wedding food, serving Spanish desserts, table tapas and canapé tapas.
Rural weddings around Three Ashes have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell usually draws people over. Golden-hour photos in Three Ashes at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
