Wedding paella catering near Frensham
Wedding paella catering in Frensham, cooked live
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. For evening wedding food and rustic barn weddings, we will put together a menu of a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts.
A wedding in a small place like Frensham frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. 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 it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Choose pan-side or table service
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you do not have to.
We can provide crockery and waiting staff if your venue does not.
FAQs for Frensham
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Frensham?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Of course. Add your suppliers to the final numbers and we’ll plan for them.
How do you work out quantities?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How long we are needed on site
- Travel, parking and access
- How many guests are eating
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
- The courses you’d like
- Anything your venue supplies
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Tell us about your wedding in Frensham, and we will put together a menu and price.
Planning the cooking area
We will be honest if a space will not work. The main points are:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Frensham is one of 395 places in Surrey where we cook. We cook right across the region, from Frensham to Guildford (about 11 miles away).
Planning photos in The Flashes? It’s worth checking the park’s rules first.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and feels more relaxed. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why book with us
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment

How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. At midsummer, sunset in Frensham is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
