Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Wooden Hill
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: every paella is cooked separately, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. Typical bookings include evening food for extra guests and weddings with mixed diets, serving Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas.

FAQs for Wooden Hill
Is Wooden Hill too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We are having a ceremony at St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
Yes. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.
What if photos overrun?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day and time the rice so it’s served at its best.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Wooden Hill? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Choosing between paella and a traditional menu?, think about your venue, your guests’ diets and the feel of the day. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

What happens on the day
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. In Wooden Hill, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Check the venue allows live cooking

What affects the price in Wooden Hill
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- The length of service
- Distance and access to the venue
- The number of people
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
