Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Rowledge
Timing is everything with paella: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We plan it around your speeches and photos. Whether it is evening food for extra guests and receptions after an intimate ceremony, we can cook table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella.
A wedding in a small place like Rowledge often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.
Dishes our guests love
Desserts
To finish: churros, crema catalana or your wedding cake.
Table tapas
Sharing tapas breaks the ice before the paella arrives.

Rowledge questions
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How far is Rowledge from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
What if the timings change?
It happens. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it’s ready when you are.
Do you cover Rowledge?
We do. We cook at events in Rowledge and across Surrey. Send us your date to check availability.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Why choose live paella in Rowledge?
Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.

Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue does not.

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Step by step
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. In Rowledge, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.

DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
