How our wedding paella catering works in Fulwell
Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. On the menu are table tapas, evening paella and Spanish desserts, and we are regularly asked to cater blessings and vow renewals and destination-style celebrations at home.
For a wedding in Fulwell, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, so it’s ready when they arrive. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book: the menu, the staff and any extras.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. Golden-hour photos in Fulwell at midsummer come around 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 start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

Fulwell questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Michael's?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook in Carlisle Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes, it makes life easier. Introduce us and we’ll sort the details.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on how it’s served.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and suits a relaxed style. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Why us?
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
As a London location, Fulwell is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
