Wedding paella catering in Stonebridge Green, made fresh on the day
Paella has a natural rhythm: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We plan it around your speeches and photos. Popular choices include Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas, and we’re regularly asked to cater wedding receptions after a small ceremony and civil partnerships and vow renewals.

What else we do in Stonebridge Green
Stonebridge Green: your questions answered
Is Stonebridge Green too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
What about supplier meals?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
Can you cater the whole day?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from canapés to evening food.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
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.
