Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Southcourt
We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. Whether it’s evening wedding food and sharing-style wedding meals, we will put together a menu of table tapas, canapé tapas and evening paella and more.
For a smaller place like Southcourt, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground and access. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Why choose live paella in Southcourt?
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Separate paella pans cover every diet. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
Fresh pans can be cooked for evening guests, typically timed after the first dance.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.

Southcourt questions
How far is Southcourt from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of the Good Shepherd: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Do you work with our venue?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Introduce us and we’ll sort the details.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
How the day works
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. In Southcourt, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around 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.
Preparing for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
