The real thing — cooked at your venue
Salt Wind Catering cooks authentic Spanish paella live on a 1-metre pan at your event in Cornwall. Bomba rice — the proper short-grain that holds its bite — generous saffron, and a sofrito built from scratch on the pan in front of your guests. Seafood, chicken & chorizo, mixed (mar y montaña), or full vegetarian — agreed at quote stage, cooked on the day.
We bring the pan, the gas, the gazebo and the cook team. All we need from your venue is a flat 3m × 6m space. The pan does up to 200 portions in a single sitting and is as much of a centrepiece as the food itself — guests gather to watch it come together, and that becomes part of the event.
Same kit as our giant pan catering, different menu intent: paella is the traditional Spanish single-dish service. If you want the real thing, this is the page. If you want curries, chilli and sharing dishes alongside, see giant pan.

Where paella works
Weddings & receptions
Relaxed outdoor weddings, barn venues, beach receptions. The pan is the centrepiece while guests gather around to watch.
Birthday parties & milestone events
Big-number birthdays and anniversaries where you want food that says effort. 40th, 50th, 60th — the pan delivers theatre alongside the meal.
Corporate summer events
Team away days, client hospitality, summer parties. Live cooking turns a corporate lunch into something memorable.
Festivals & private street-food events
Charity fundraisers, village fêtes, festival hospitality. The pan feeds 200 in one sitting and looks the part doing it.
We have catered for the NHS, National Grid, Cornwall Council, WWF, Savills and Omaze UK — the same standards applied to a 30-guest birthday or a 200-guest summer event.
