Wedding paella catering in Batt's Corner
Wedding paella catering in Batt's Corner, made fresh on the day
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. We are often asked to cater barn and farm weddings and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings, with evening paella, table tapas and canapé tapas.
A wedding in a small place like Batt's Corner frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
What’s in the pans
Table tapas
Sharing tapas breaks the ice before the paella arrives.
Paella wedding breakfast
The main event: paellas for every diet, served hot and generous.
Occasions we cook for in Batt's Corner
It fills the gap between ceremony and meal: watch the pans.
Big or small, live paella works well. Common bookings include:
- Informal wedding breakfasts
- Receptions after an intimate ceremony
- Vow renewals and civil ceremonies
- Weddings with lots of dietary needs
Couples marrying at local churches such as The Church Of The Good Shepherd frequently hold the reception nearby: the paella can be cooking while you have photos taken, so the meal is ready when you arrive.

Batt's Corner questions
Do you come out to small places like Batt's Corner?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Batt's Corner from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Will you talk to our venue?
Of course. We will speak to your venue about access and timings.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Can we try the food first?
Ask us about tastings when you get in touch.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
What happens on the day
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, sunset in Batt's Corner is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable

What wedding paella catering costs
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Your choice of paellas
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
- Travel, parking and access
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The address or venue name
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. Larger events normally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why Batt's Corner hosts choose us
- Fast service from the pan
- Drinks service on request

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
