How our wedding paella catering works in Kingston Vale

In Kingston Vale, getting guests from ceremony to reception is part of the plan. Paella can be cooking while they’re on the move, so it is ready when they arrive. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
Kingston Vale is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Kingston Vale, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.

Common questions in Kingston Vale
Which station should guests use for Kingston Vale?
Raynes Park station, about 1.7 miles south-east of the centre.
Could we have live paella in Wimbledon Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Yes. Include suppliers in your numbers.
What about pudding?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
