Wedding paella catering in Wormstone

Wedding paella catering in Wormstone, made fresh on the day

Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: each paella has its own pan, so every guest gets a proper hot main. Popular choices include table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas, and we’re regularly asked to cater weddings in a marquee or garden and destination-style celebrations at home.

Near Wormstone, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

Dishes our guests love

Canapé tapas

Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal.

Evening paella

Fresh pans for evening guests, served quickly so the party keeps going.

What wedding paella catering costs

These are the factors that matter most:

  • How long we’re needed on site
  • How many staff you need
  • Your choice of paellas
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert

Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

Details that help

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

  • Expected numbers
  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
  • The venue or postcode

We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, use our quote form.

Organising for someone else?

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.

What we need at the venue

We’ll be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:

  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

What we offer

  • Canapé tapas
  • Paella wedding breakfast
  • Sangria & bar staff
  • Evening paella
  • Dessert
  • Table tapas

Planning help

Perfect for your wedding in Wormstone

  • Wedding receptions after a small ceremony
  • Rustic barn weddings
  • Weddings with lots of dietary needs
  • Weddings with a Spanish theme

Couples marrying at local churches such as St Michael and All Angels' Church often hold the reception nearby: the paella can be cooking while you have photos taken, so it is ready as guests arrive.

Before booking anyone

  • Plates, cutlery and napkins, or disposables
  • The deposit and payment dates
  • How many staff are coming, and for how long
  • The deadline for final numbers
