How our wedding paella catering works in Lower Morden
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. Whether it is evening wedding food and weddings with mixed diets, we will put together a menu of canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and a paella wedding breakfast for your guests.
Couples in Lower Morden often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. In London, parking and loading need planning early. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Lower Morden questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Martin's?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
What about parking in Lower Morden?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Do you cater in Lower Morden?
We do. Lower Morden is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How many paellas should we have?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.

Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?

What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.

- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
