About our wedding paella catering in Warborne
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. We’re often asked to cater spanish-themed and destination-style weddings and blessings and vow renewals, serving Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.
A wedding in a small place like Warborne often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Your questions about wedding paella catering in Warborne

How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
How it works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell normally draws people over. At midsummer, sunset in Warborne is about 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.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- 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.
