About our wedding paella catering in Sutton
We can add sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff, so the catering fits the way you want your day to feel. Whether it’s farm and barn venues and wedding receptions after a small ceremony, we can cook canapé tapas, evening paella and table tapas and more.
Couples in Sutton frequently marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. In London, parking and loading need planning early. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan.

Planning the cooking area
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
As a London location, Sutton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, normally timed after the first dance.
Sangria and bar staff can be added.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Waiting and bar staff
- The length of service
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- The date and rough timings
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Your questions about wedding paella catering in Sutton
Could we have live paella in Manor Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
What about parking in Sutton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Do you cover Sutton?
We do. Sutton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

What’s in the pans
Canapé tapas
Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal.
Evening paella
A second round of paella for the evening, quick to serve and filling.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
What happens on the day
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. In Sutton, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is generally 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 everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
