Wedding paella catering in Shepperton Green, cooked live
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: every paella is cooked separately, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. On the menu are table tapas, Spanish desserts and a paella wedding breakfast, and we’re often booked for barn and farm weddings and civil partnerships and vow renewals.
A farm or garden wedding near Shepperton Green suits live paella. We need level ground and access. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
What wedding paella catering costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Timings and hours
- Distance and access to the venue
- The paellas you choose
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What to tell us
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The date and time of the event

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Send us the running order and speech times
Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, timed for after the first dance.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue does not.
The process
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. For a summer wedding in Shepperton Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
How to get a price
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote.

Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Paella compared with other options
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
Why us?
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
About the dishes
Canapé tapas
Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal, without spoiling appetites.
Table tapas
A tapas starter gets tables talking before the paella arrives.
Questions from Shepperton Green
Can you cook in Penton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

Yes, it makes life easier. Put us in touch and we will agree the details.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Do you take everything away?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from the drinks reception to the evening.
