How our wedding paella catering works in Whitmoor Vale
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: each paella has its own pan, so every guest gets a proper hot main. Whether it’s rustic barn weddings and parties after a register office wedding, we will put together a menu of evening paella, canapé tapas and table tapas and more.
A wedding in a small place like Whitmoor Vale often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
How the day works
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. Golden-hour photos in Whitmoor Vale at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
