Live wedding paella catering in Woosehill
Wedding paella catering in Woosehill, cooked live
Paella as evening food is popular: it is hot, filling and quick to serve, so the party keeps going. Popular choices include Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and table tapas, and we are often booked for civil partnerships and vow renewals and garden and marquee weddings.
Weddings in a place like Woosehill often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. A huge pan on the lawn fits right in. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

At midsummer, sunset in Woosehill is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue does not.

Organising a club, school or community event in Woosehill? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Live paella or other catering?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and feels more relaxed. Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Hot food served quickly from the pan

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- How long we are needed on site
- Whether you need crockery
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
