Wedding paella catering in Force Green
About our wedding paella catering in Force Green
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: every paella is cooked separately, so every guest gets a proper hot main. Typical bookings include destination-style celebrations at home and barn and farm weddings, serving table tapas, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts.
Couples in Force Green often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Live paella works well at both, as long as there is a ventilated spot to cook. Plan parking and loading early. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

How we price wedding paella catering
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Your choice of paellas
- Whether you need crockery
- Travel, parking and access
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Your date and when you want to eat
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

Questions from Force Green
What about parking in Force Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.
What’s the nearest station to Force Green for guests?
The closest is Oxted station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.

Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can we try the food first?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.

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. For a summer wedding in Force Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

About the dishes
Desserts
To finish: churros, crema catalana or your wedding cake.
Paella wedding breakfast
Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables, with bread and salad.
Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Paella covers them with separate pans. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
