What happens on the day

From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. For a summer wedding in Ivybridge, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
  2. We plan your menu course by course.
  3. Timings are agreed with your venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve each course.
  5. We clear our area; staff stay as booked.

Before we arrive

  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Make sure we can park close by to unload
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Catering for every guest

With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:

  • Tell us when speeches will be
  • Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
  • Put us in touch with your venue
  • Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers

If things run late, and we’ll adapt the timing so it is still served fresh.

Table tapas make a sociable starter.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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 enjoy the party, let us cook.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Live paella or other catering?

Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and suits a relaxed style. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

Why Ivybridge hosts choose us

  • We cover Ivybridge and the whole of Greater London
  • No hidden extras in your quote
  • Food that becomes part of the entertainment
  • Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available

Take a look at How we price Or Our guide to catering costs.

Before you choose a spot

The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:

  • Somewhere close to park and unload
  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site

As a London location, Ivybridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

  • Sangria & bar staff

For event organisers in Ivybridge

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

How we price wedding paella catering

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Travel, parking and access
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
  • Guest numbers
  • How many courses

Larger events typically cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Details that help

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • The address or venue name
  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

12 questions to ask before booking

Ivybridge: your questions answered

We are having a ceremony at All Hallows Twickenham: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

Can you cook in Inwood Park?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

Can you cater the whole day?

We can. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.

What if the weather’s bad?

A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.

What about pudding?

Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.

What areas do you cover?

We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.

How soon do we need to book?

The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.

Can you supply plates?

Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
