Planning an event in West Preston?
The process
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over. For a summer wedding in West Preston, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.

Wedding paella catering in West Preston, made fresh on the day
Paella has a natural rhythm: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it is best served straight away. We plan it around your speeches and photos. For parties after a register office wedding and marquee and garden weddings, we will put together a menu of canapé tapas, table tapas and evening paella for your guests.
In West Preston, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. A huge pan on the lawn fits right in. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
