Wedding paella catering near Roehampton

Questions from Roehampton

We’re having a ceremony at St Margaret's Church: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

Can you cook in Putney Heath?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

How soon do we need to book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.

How many paellas should we have?

Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.

Is the paella gluten-free?

Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

Can you serve drinks?

Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

How much does wedding paella catering cost in Roehampton?

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.

Do you cater for suppliers?

Of course. Include suppliers in your numbers.

How our wedding paella catering works in Roehampton

Paella has a natural rhythm: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We time it around your speeches and photos. Popular choices include evening paella, Spanish desserts and a paella wedding breakfast, and we are regularly asked to cater marquee and garden weddings and weddings with a Spanish theme.

In Roehampton, getting guests from ceremony to reception is part of the plan. Paella can be cooking while they’re on the move, ready to serve on arrival. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Step by step

From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. Golden-hour photos in Roehampton at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

  1. Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
  2. We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
  3. We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
  4. On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
  5. Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.

Getting ready for the day

  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
  • Have a level space ready for the pans

Space, weather and the venue

Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area

Roehampton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Popular choices

  • Table tapas
  • Paella wedding breakfast
  • Canapé tapas
  • Sangria & bar staff
  • Dessert
  • Evening paella

Catering for every guest

We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Include any suppliers you are feeding
  • Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
  • Book early for summer Saturdays
  • Introduce us to your venue coordinator

Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, usually timed after the first dance.

Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.

About the dishes

Paella wedding breakfast

Paellas for every guest, served straight from the pan.

Canapé tapas

Small bites carried round on boards while guests mingle, perfect during the photos.

Should I cook it myself?

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Why Roehampton hosts choose us

  • Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
  • Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
  • Paella cooked from scratch on site
  • Waiting staff and crockery on request
