About our wedding paella catering in Richmond
The smell of saffron and garlic drifting across a garden or barn gets guests excited about the meal. On the menu are canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella, and typical bookings are for evening food for extra guests and wedding receptions after a small ceremony.
London weddings around Richmond frequently 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. In London, parking and loading need planning early. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

What we need at the venue
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
As a London location, Richmond is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and unloading
- The number of people
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Anything your venue supplies
- The courses you’d like
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. For a summer wedding in Richmond, 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. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- 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
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Share your running order, including speeches
If things run late, and we will adapt the timing so the paella is served at its best.
Sangria and bar staff can be added.
What’s in the pans
Evening paella
Fresh pans for evening guests, served quickly so the party keeps going.
Table tapas
Tapas set out on every table to share, such as patatas bravas, croquetas and Manchego.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
