How our wedding paella catering works in Camberley
Timing is everything with paella: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We plan it around your speeches and photos. Typical bookings include spanish-themed and destination-style weddings and wedding receptions after a small ceremony, serving Spanish desserts, evening paella and canapé tapas.
A wedding in Camberley might mean a ceremony at a local church followed by a reception in a garden, marquee or hall. That’s ideal for live paella: we can cook during the photos. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Camberley: your questions answered
Can you cook in Tekels Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Can we have a tasting?
Tell us you’d like a tasting when you enquire, and we will talk you through it.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Put us in touch and we’ll agree the details.

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. At midsummer, sunset in Camberley is about 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
