Wedding paella catering in Row Town, made fresh on the day
Evening paella is a favourite: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so the party keeps going. Popular choices include a paella wedding breakfast, evening paella and canapé tapas, and we’re regularly asked to cater big weddings with every diet and evening food for extra guests.
In Row Town, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. A giant pan on the lawn fits right in. Let us know about access for the van. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
Space, weather and the venue
We will be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Row Town

How the day works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. At midsummer, sunset in Row Town is about 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.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
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. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Planning a paella wedding in Row Town
Row Town is about 3 miles west of Weybridge, in Surrey. Give us the address of your wedding in Row Town, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. We cater in 395 places across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 9 miles away.

Catering for every guest

We clear our cooking area away afterwards; any staff stay as long as agreed.
We can provide crockery and waiting staff.
Questions from Row Town
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Paul's?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Row Town for guests?
The closest is Addlestone station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
What about supplier meals?
Yes. Include suppliers in your numbers.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
