Rural weddings around Pyrford Green have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Space, weather and the venue
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Level ground for the pans and burners

How it works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a summer wedding in Pyrford Green, 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 normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
How to prepare

What wedding paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many courses
- Waiting and bar staff
- Travel, parking and access
Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and rough timings
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
The pans are frequently set up where guests can see them, and it makes a great photo.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.
Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

FAQs for Pyrford Green
Which station should guests use for Pyrford Green?
The closest is West Byfleet station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Can you cook in Manor Farm?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can paella feel formal?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on presentation and service.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
