Wedding paella catering near Burwood Park
How our wedding paella catering works in Burwood Park
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, to suit the style of your day. Typical bookings include informal wedding breakfasts and farm and barn venues, serving a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and Spanish desserts.
A wedding in a small place like Burwood Park frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.
A closer look at the menu
Table tapas
Tapas set out on every table to share, from bravas to croquetas and Manchego.
Evening paella
Paella makes great evening food.
Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Send us the running order and speech times
- 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
The pans are frequently set up where guests can see them, and it makes a great photo.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.

What affects the price in Burwood Park
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Your choice of paellas
- The length of service
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Expected numbers
- What the venue already provides
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Your questions about wedding paella catering in Burwood Park
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Burwood Park from London?
About 17 miles from central London.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you offer tastings?
Ask us about tastings when you contact us.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Step by step
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. Golden-hour photos in Burwood Park at midsummer come around 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.
