Wedding paella catering in Radfall
Wedding paella catering in Radfall, made fresh on the day
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. We cook canapé tapas, evening paella and Spanish desserts, and typical bookings are for vow renewals and civil ceremonies and wedding receptions after a small ceremony.
A wedding in a small place like Radfall often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. In Radfall, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We check availability for your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Radfall? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Book early for summer Saturdays
Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, timed for after the first dance.
We can provide crockery and waiting staff if your venue does not.

Radfall questions
Is Radfall close to London?
About 51 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station should guests use for Radfall?
The closest is Chestfield & Swalecliffe station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
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.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from the drinks reception to the evening.
Live paella or other catering?
Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
