About our wedding paella catering in Wormshill
Paella has a natural rhythm: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it’s best served straight away. We time it around your speeches and photos. Popular choices include Spanish desserts, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and we’re regularly asked to cater wedding receptions after a small ceremony and sharing-style wedding meals.
A wedding in a small place like Wormshill often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff, whichever suits your day.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.

DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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 will do the cooking.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
