What we need at the venue
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
As a London location, New Malden is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Wedding paella catering in New Malden, made fresh on the day
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. Whether it is spanish-themed and destination-style weddings and marquee and garden weddings, we’ll put together a menu of a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
London weddings around New Malden frequently mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Live paella works well at both, as long as there’s a ventilated spot to cook. In London, parking and loading need planning early. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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 you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. For a summer wedding in New Malden, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
