Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Winterbrook
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous and celebratory. For spanish-themed and destination-style weddings and vow renewals and civil ceremonies, we’ll put together a menu of Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast and more.
A wedding in a small place like Winterbrook frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot.

The process
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. For a summer wedding in Winterbrook, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Where we can cook in Winterbrook
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
