How our wedding paella catering works in Deerton Street
Timing is everything with paella: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it is best served right away. We plan it around your speeches and photos. On the menu are a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas, and we’re regularly asked to cater informal wedding breakfasts and vow renewals and civil ceremonies.
Near Deerton Street, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Organising a club, school or community event in Deerton Street? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. In Deerton Street, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
What’s in the pans
Paella wedding breakfast
Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables, with bread and salad.
Canapé tapas
Small bites carried round on boards while guests mingle, ideal for the drinks reception.
Your questions about wedding paella catering in Deerton Street
Is Deerton Street close to London?
About 41 miles from central London.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes, it makes life easier. Put us in touch and we’ll agree the details.
Do you come to Deerton Street?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Deerton Street. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Can we try the food first?
Ask us about tastings when you contact us.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and feels more relaxed. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
