How our wedding paella catering works in Sunningdale
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. Typical bookings include sharing-style wedding meals and wedding receptions after a small ceremony, serving canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella.
In Sunningdale, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. A giant pan on the lawn fits right in. Let us know about access for the van. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella is served quickly to many guests. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Common questions in Sunningdale
How far is Sunningdale from London?
About 24 miles from central London.
Could we have live paella in Silwood Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can paella feel formal?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
How do you work out quantities?
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.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
