Wedding paella catering in Wendover, made fresh on the day
Timing is everything with paella: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We plan it around your speeches and photos. Typical bookings include destination-style celebrations at home and rustic barn weddings, serving evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas.
For a smaller place like Wendover, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We’ll need a level spot and a way to reach it. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
