Wedding paella catering in Stoneleigh, cooked live
Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous and celebratory. Whether it’s farm and barn venues and blessings and vow renewals, we will put together a menu of evening paella, table tapas and canapé tapas for your guests.
For a smaller place like Stoneleigh, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We’ll need a level spot and a way to reach it. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. In Stoneleigh, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We check availability for 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
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
How we price wedding paella catering
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Waiting and bar staff
- Whether you need crockery
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before you book.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Paella compared with other options
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella is served quickly to many guests. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- A quote that spells everything out
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Fast service from the pan
