Wedding paella catering for Frimley events
How our wedding paella catering works in Frimley
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts. We cook canapé tapas, evening paella and a paella wedding breakfast, and typical bookings are for vow renewals and civil ceremonies and relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts.
A wedding in Frimley might mean a ceremony at a local church followed by a reception in a garden, marquee or hall. That suits live paella perfectly: it can be cooking during the photos. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we’ll adjust the cooking so the paella is served at its best.
Table tapas make a sociable starter.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Frimley
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Peter's Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Could we have live paella in Frimley Lodge Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you offer tastings?
Ask us about tastings when you contact us.
What about supplier meals?
Just add them to your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, sunset in Frimley is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Preparing for the day

How to get a price

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
