How our wedding paella catering works in Mytchett
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. Popular choices include evening paella, table tapas and canapé tapas, and we’re often booked for evening food for extra guests and weddings with a Spanish theme.
In Mytchett, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. Paella cooked on the lawn suits that perfectly. Let us know about access for the van. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Questions from Mytchett
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How far is Mytchett from London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
What about supplier meals?
Yes. Include suppliers in your numbers.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
We can. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on presentation and service.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Parking and unloading
- Your choice of paellas
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The date and rough timings
- Expected numbers
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
About the dishes
Paella wedding breakfast
Paellas for every guest, served straight from the pan.
Canapé tapas
Canapé tapas fill the gap before the meal, without spoiling appetites.
How it works
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. In Mytchett, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking

Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Somewhere close to park and unload
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Dessert
- Table tapas
- Evening paella
- Sangria & bar staff
- Canapé tapas
- Paella wedding breakfast
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
