Live paella across KT13: what to know
KT13 covers everything from Walton-on-Thames, Weybridge and St George's Hill to 1 small villages and hamlets, and live paella works in all of them. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Weybridge: Parks such as Woburn Park typically need the owner’s permission for cooking, so ask before you plan a party there. For a christening or wedding at a church such as United Reform Church, a paella lunch or reception nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Evenings in Weybridge stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light to cook and serve by.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Level ground for the pans and burners
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Tell us what else is being served
- Plan seating for most guests: paella is easiest eaten sitting down
- Ask for labels on each pan
Let the paella rest for a few minutes before serving, which is when we usually call guests over.
Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana finish the meal.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Occasions we cook for in KT13
It needs no kitchen, so it works in gardens, fields and marquees where plated meals are hard.
Whatever the occasion, paella can be the star of the food. We regularly cater:

How we price paella catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- Your choice of paellas
- How many courses
- Whether you need crockery
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help

- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Diets and allergies you know about
