Bushey Mead questions
Which station should guests use for Bushey Mead?
Bushey Mead has its own station: Raynes Park station.
We are having a ceremony at Dundonald Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What if our speeches run late?
We plan for it. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it is served at its best.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can you cook indoors?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
About our wedding paella catering in Bushey Mead
We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. Whether it is parties after a register office wedding and destination-style celebrations at home, we can cook evening paella, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas and more.
In Bushey Mead, getting guests from ceremony to reception is part of the plan. Paella can be cooking while they’re on the move, so it is ready when they arrive. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:

- Tell us when speeches will be
- Count day and evening guests separately
After service, we pack down our cooking area; any staff stay as long as agreed.
Table tapas make a sociable starter.
Live paella or other catering?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and suits a relaxed style. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- A clear, itemised quote
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Sangria and bar staff available

How it works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it.

- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
