How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. Golden-hour photos in Cramhurst at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Wedding paella catering in Cramhurst, cooked live
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. We are often asked to cater barn and farm weddings and garden and marquee weddings, with evening paella, Spanish desserts and a paella wedding breakfast.
Rural weddings around Cramhurst have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.
How we price wedding paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Waiting and bar staff
- How many guests are eating
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts

Common questions in Cramhurst
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Cramhurst?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Just add them to your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from the drinks reception to the evening.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Separate paella pans cover every diet. 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.
