Live wedding paella catering in Tile Hurst
How our wedding paella catering works in Tile Hurst
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous and celebratory. For evening wedding food and weddings in a marquee or garden, we’ll put together a menu of table tapas, evening paella and Spanish desserts and more.
A wedding in a small place like Tile Hurst frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Live paella or other catering?
Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella is served hot from the pan. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

What else we do in Tile Hurst
Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. In Tile Hurst, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- 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 in front of your guests and serve each course.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Give us a contact for the day
