About our wedding paella catering in Foxbury
We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts. On the menu are a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and table tapas, and typical bookings are for relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts and garden and marquee weddings.
London weddings around Foxbury frequently mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. Plan parking and loading early. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

The process
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. For a summer wedding in Foxbury, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables, with bread and salad.
Table tapas
Tapas set out on every table to share, such as patatas bravas, croquetas and Manchego.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you do not have to.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Your questions about wedding paella catering in Foxbury
We are having a ceremony at Christ Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is parking a problem for events in Foxbury?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
What if the timings change?
It happens. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it’s served at its best.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you offer tastings?
Tell us you’d like a tasting when you enquire, and we will talk you through it.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Why choose live paella in Foxbury?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and feels more relaxed. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
