How our wedding paella catering works in Norbury
Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous and celebratory. Popular choices include canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella, and we’re often booked for weddings in a marquee or garden and sharing-style wedding meals.
In Norbury, getting guests from ceremony to reception is part of the plan. Paella can be cooking while they’re on the move, so it’s ready when they arrive. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. At midsummer, sunset in Norbury is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day

Questions from Norbury
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Oswald?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

The closest is Norbury station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Just add them to your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.
Do you cater in Norbury?
Yes, we do. Norbury is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Should we have more than one paella?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can paella feel formal?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on how it’s served.
Can you cater the whole day?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from the drinks reception to the evening.

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
