Live paella or other catering?

Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Book early for summer Saturdays
We clear our cooking area away afterwards; any staff stay as long as agreed.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.
How the day works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. At midsummer, sunset in Carshalton is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

FAQs for Carshalton
Which station should guests use for Carshalton?
Carshalton has its own station: Carshalton station.
Can you cook in Carshalton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
What if photos overrun?
Tell us and we’ll adjust. We stay in touch with your coordinator so the paella is served fresh.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.

The menu, dish by dish
Paella wedding breakfast
Paellas for every guest, served hot and generous.
Canapé tapas
One- and two-bite tapas on boards, ideal for the drinks reception.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
