How our wedding paella catering works in Partridge Green
Timing is everything with paella: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it’s best served straight away. We time it around your speeches and photos. On the menu are a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and canapé tapas, and typical bookings are for informal wedding breakfasts and weddings with mixed diets.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Partridge Green, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

What affects the price in Partridge Green
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The paellas you choose
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we’re needed on site
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

FAQs for Partridge Green
Is Partridge Green close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
We’re having a ceremony at St Michael and All Angels Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What about pudding?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
What’s in the pans
Paella wedding breakfast
The main event: paellas for every diet, served straight from the pan.

What we need at the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:

How it works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. For a summer wedding in Partridge Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is normally 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.
