About our wedding paella catering in Dormers Wells
Timing is everything with paella: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We time it around your speeches and photos. On the menu are evening paella, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and typical bookings are for civil partnerships and vow renewals and farm and barn venues.
London weddings around Dormers Wells frequently mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Live paella works well at both, as long as there is a ventilated spot to cook. Plan parking and loading early. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Dormers Wells
What’s the nearest station to Dormers Wells for guests?
The closest is Southall station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can you cook in Castle Bar Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Introduce us and we will sort the details.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you come to Dormers Wells?
Yes, we do. Dormers Wells is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can we have a tasting?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we’ll talk you through it.
Live paella or other catering?
Choosing between paella and a traditional menu?, consider your venue, diets and the style you want. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

The process
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. In Dormers Wells, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

What affects the price in Dormers Wells

- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Your choice of paellas
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Distance and access to the venue

Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Where the event is
- Your date and when you want to eat

DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff, whichever suits your day.
We can provide crockery and waiting staff.
