Wedding paella catering in Send Marsh, made fresh on the day
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. On the menu are table tapas, Spanish desserts and evening paella, and we are regularly asked to cater rustic barn weddings and wedding receptions after a small ceremony.
There is something special about a country wedding near Send Marsh, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Before you choose a spot
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
The pans are frequently set up where guests can see them, and it makes a great photo.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Common questions in Send Marsh
Could we have live paella in White Rose Lane?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
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.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
How much does wedding paella catering cost in Send Marsh?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
Do you offer tastings?
Tell us you’d like a tasting when you enquire, and we will talk you through it.
Do you come to Send Marsh?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Send Marsh is within our area and the rest of Surrey. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
What’s in the pans
Canapé tapas
Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal.
Evening paella
Evening paella is hot, filling and fun, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.
For event organisers in Send Marsh
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Who books wedding paella catering in Send Marsh?
Couples choose paella because it feels relaxed and generous, and guests talk about it afterwards.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Weddings with lots of dietary needs
- Receptions after an intimate ceremony
- Farm and barn venues
- Informal wedding breakfasts
If you are marrying at a church near Send Marsh, such as St William of York, a reception in a garden, marquee or hired venue nearby keeps the day flowing: the paella can be cooking while you have photos taken, so it is ready as guests arrive.

Live paella or other catering?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and feels more relaxed. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
