How our wedding paella catering works in Stone Copse
Paella has a natural rhythm: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We plan it around your speeches and photos. On the menu are evening paella, table tapas and canapé tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings in a marquee or garden and blessings and vow renewals.
There is something special about a country wedding near Stone Copse, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Catering for every guest

Stone Copse: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at Parish Church of St Mary: 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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Stone Copse close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
Can paella feel formal?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
What about pudding?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Before you choose a spot
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
What we offer
- Dessert
- Table tapas
- Paella wedding breakfast
- Evening paella
- Sangria & bar staff
- Canapé tapas
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 feels more relaxed. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

How the day works
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. In Stone Copse, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- 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.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
