Wedding paella catering near Belmont
How it works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Belmont, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Belmont
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. We cook table tapas, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas, and typical bookings are for food for evening guests and weddings with a Spanish theme.
For a smaller place like Belmont, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level ground and access. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
What we offer
- Sangria & bar staff
- Canapé tapas

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
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.
Why choose live paella in Belmont?
A buffet can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate when guests are ready. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- A clear, itemised quote

Belmont questions
How far is Belmont from London?
Roughly 12 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St John: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. 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 how it’s served.
