How our wedding paella catering works in Belmont
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, so the catering fits the way you want your day to feel. We’re frequently asked to cater weddings with a Spanish theme and weddings with mixed diets, with evening paella, Spanish desserts and table tapas.
Weddings in a place like Belmont frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. Paella cooked on the lawn suits that perfectly. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan.

What affects the price in Belmont
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Timings and hours
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Waiting and bar staff
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

FAQs for Belmont
Is Belmont close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook near the sea around Belmont?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on presentation and service.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.

Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

How it works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Belmont, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
