Wedding paella catering in West Byfleet, cooked live
Evening paella is a favourite: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so the party keeps going. Popular choices include evening paella, table tapas and Spanish desserts, and typical bookings are for food for evening guests and barn and farm weddings.
A farm or garden wedding near West Byfleet suits live paella. We need level ground and access. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
