About our wedding paella catering in Greywell
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. For garden and marquee weddings and weddings with a Spanish theme, we can cook evening paella, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast for your guests.
Rural weddings around Greywell have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Choose pan-side or table service
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff, whichever suits your day.
We can provide crockery and waiting staff if your venue doesn’t.
Greywell: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Greywell too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Do you cater in Greywell?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Greywell is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.
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.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

What affects the price in Greywell
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- Your choice of paellas
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How many courses
- The length of service
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Expected numbers
- Which courses you have in mind
- What the venue already provides
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Greywell, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- 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 clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
How to prepare
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Let us know the timings for the day

Planning help
DIY paella versus live catering
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.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we offer
- Dessert
- Table tapas
- Evening paella
- Canapé tapas
- Sangria & bar staff
- Paella wedding breakfast
