Wedding paella catering in Pyrford, cooked live
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. Typical bookings include weddings in a marquee or garden and weddings with a Spanish theme, with evening paella, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.
A farm or garden wedding near Pyrford suits live paella. We need level ground and access. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.
What happens on the day
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Pyrford, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Why choose live paella in Pyrford?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why Pyrford hosts choose us
- Real theatre, not just catering

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Pyrford
We’re having a ceremony at Church of the Good Shepherd: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Surrey included. Find your area.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you come to Pyrford?
We do. Pyrford is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
