Wedding paella catering in Albury, made fresh on the day

A wedding in a small place like Albury often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. For a summer wedding in Albury, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

Albury: your questions answered
Is Albury close to London?
About 44 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Helen?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on presentation and service.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Planning the cooking area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Dessert
- Evening paella
- Table tapas
