About our wedding paella catering in Malden Rushett
We can add sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff, so the catering fits the way you want your day to feel. On the menu are evening paella, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and we’re regularly asked to cater receptions after an intimate ceremony and rustic barn weddings.
London weddings around Malden Rushett frequently mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. Plan parking and loading early. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

What else we do in Malden Rushett
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Paella compared with other options
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and suits a relaxed style. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why book with us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Live cooking, not reheated food

How it works
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests usually gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. In Malden Rushett, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Share your running order, including speeches
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.
What we need at the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
Malden Rushett is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
