Around Guildford

We cook for events around Surrey Maths School, Sandfield Primary School and Guildford High School. You’ll also find Church of St John the Evangelist (under half a mile east), Stoke Park (under half a mile east) and The King's Head pub (within half a mile south-east). The closest station to Guildford is London Road (Guildford) station, roughly 0.6 miles south-east.

Planning a paella wedding in Surrey

Surrey offers town venues in Guildford, Woking and Camberley and countryside settings across 276 villages and hamlets. We will agree where to cook with your venue. Parts of Surrey are within a few miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so check venue rules on vehicles and cooking for countryside events.

Guildford: Pewley Hill nearby makes a lovely backdrop for photos, and the countryside around Guildford suits an outdoor reception. Nearby historic houses include Guildford Castle (0.9 miles south) and Loseley Park (2.6 miles south-west). Historic houses and estates often have their own rules on caterers and cooking, so check early if that is your venue. Golden-hour photos in Guildford at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

Planning for every diet

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Enquire early for peak dates
  • Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
  • Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
  • Give us separate day and evening numbers

If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we’ll adjust the cooking so the paella is served at its best.

Sangria and bar staff can be added.

What wedding paella catering costs

There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:

  • How many staff you need
  • Timings and hours
  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • Travel, parking and access

Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

What to tell us

To check availability and price, we need:

  • The address or venue name
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Organising for someone else?

Organising a club, school or community event in Surrey? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

What’s in the pans

Evening paella

Evening paella is hot, filling and fun, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.

Table tapas

A tapas starter gets tables talking.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Choosing between paella and a traditional menu?, consider your venue, diets and the style you want.

What your quote should include

  • How dietary needs and allergies are handled
  • What happens if it rains
  • What the caterer needs from your venue
  • How many staff are coming, and for how long

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Surrey

Is the paella gluten-free?

A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.

Can you do our whole wedding menu?

Any part of the day, or all of it, from canapés to evening food.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.

Do you do desserts?

We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.

What happens if it rains?

A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.

What if the timings change?

It happens. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it is ready when you are.

How far ahead should we book?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
