Wedding paella catering in Raynes Park, made fresh on the day
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, to suit the style of your day. Popular choices include a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and we’re regularly asked to cater evening wedding food and informal wedding breakfasts.
London weddings around Raynes Park often mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Live paella works well at both, as long as there’s a ventilated spot to cook. Plan parking and loading early. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

What else we do in Raynes Park
The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Raynes Park, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, 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.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Check the venue allows live cooking

Raynes Park questions
Which station should guests use for Raynes Park?
Raynes Park has its own station: Raynes Park station.
We are having a ceremony at St Saviour's Church: 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a price.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
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 cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
As a London location, Raynes Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Live paella or other catering?
