How our wedding paella catering works in Elmbridge Village
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. On the menu are canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts, and we’re regularly asked to cater marquee and garden weddings and wedding receptions after a small ceremony.
Near Elmbridge Village, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.

Elmbridge Village questions
How far is Elmbridge Village from London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
How much paella per person?
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 have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
