Live wedding paella catering in Wells-in-the-Field
Live paella or other catering?
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Separate paella pans cover every diet. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan

Wedding paella catering in Wells-in-the-Field, made fresh on the day
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts. Whether it is civil partnerships and vow renewals and wedding receptions after a small ceremony, we can cook table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Wells-in-the-Field often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Catering for every guest
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:
- Pick a serving style
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
We generally set up where guests can watch, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.

- Waiting and bar staff
- The length of service
