Wedding paella catering in Sewardstone
About our wedding paella catering in Sewardstone
We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. We cook table tapas, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and we are regularly asked to cater receptions after an intimate ceremony and weddings with mixed diets.
Couples in Sewardstone frequently marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. Plan parking and loading early. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

What wedding paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Parking and unloading
- The length of service
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything your venue supplies
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Why choose live paella in Sewardstone?
A buffet can leave food sitting out. Paella is served hot from the pan when guests are ready. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Dishes our guests love
Table tapas
A tapas starter gets tables talking before the paella arrives.
Paella wedding breakfast
Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables, with bread and salad.
The process
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a summer wedding in Sewardstone, 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 typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Let us know the timings for the day

Planning the cooking area
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
As a London location, Sewardstone is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
