Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Horsemere Green
Evening paella is a favourite: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so the party keeps going. For marquee and garden weddings and evening food for extra guests, we will put together a menu of a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts.
Rural weddings around Horsemere Green have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

What happens on the day
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 we time everything to your schedule. In Horsemere Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Choose pan-side or table service
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.
Horsemere Green: your questions answered
Is Horsemere Green too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
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.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Can we have a tasting?
Ask us about tastings when you contact us.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Horsemere Green.
Can you cook indoors?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
