Wedding paella catering for Nately Scures events
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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.
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. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
How our wedding paella catering works in Nately Scures
The smell of saffron and garlic drifting across a garden or barn has everyone looking forward to dinner. Whether it is big weddings with every diet and farm and barn venues, we can cook Spanish desserts, table tapas and canapé tapas and more.
Rural weddings around Nately Scures have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.
How we price wedding paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of paellas
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The length of service
Live paella pricing depends on the event. 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
To check availability and price, we need:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- What the venue already provides
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Which courses you have in mind

Common questions in Nately Scures
We are having a ceremony at Church of St. Nicholas: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Nately Scures from London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available.
How the day works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, sunset in Nately Scures is about 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Check the venue allows live cooking

Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Planning the cooking area
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
What we offer
- Table tapas
- Canapé tapas
- Sangria & bar staff
