Wedding paella catering for Norbiton events
Step by step
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For a summer wedding in Norbiton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Common questions in Norbiton
Could we have live paella in Canbury Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
What about parking in Norbiton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
How do you work out quantities?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Do you work with our venue?
Yes, it makes life easier. Introduce us and we will sort the details.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Working with your venue
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
