Wedding paella catering in Woolton Hill, cooked live
Paella has a natural rhythm: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We plan it around your speeches and photos. We cook a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and Spanish desserts, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings with mixed diets and civil partnerships and vow renewals.
A wedding in a small place like Woolton Hill often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
The menu, dish by dish
Desserts
Spanish desserts from churros to crema catalana, or your cake as dessert.
Paella wedding breakfast
Paellas for every guest, served straight from the pan.
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests generally gather round to watch while it cooks. In Woolton Hill, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
