Your questions about wedding paella catering in Oxted
Which station should guests use for Oxted?
The closest is Hurst Green station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Agatha's Hall?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Oxted.
Do you offer tastings?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we will talk you through it.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Wedding paella catering in Oxted, cooked live
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. Typical bookings include receptions after an intimate ceremony and evening wedding food, with evening paella, canapé tapas and table tapas.
Weddings in a place like Oxted frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. Paella cooked on the lawn suits that perfectly. Let us know about access for the van. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. In Oxted, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Plan cover in case of rain

Planning help
DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
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.
Space, weather and the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Paella compared with other options
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
