How our wedding paella catering works in Sutton
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. For food for evening guests and parties after a register office wedding, we can cook evening paella, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.
A wedding in a small place like Sutton frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.

Live paella or other catering?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and feels more relaxed. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

About the dishes
Evening paella
Evening paella is hot, filling and fun, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.
Canapé tapas
Small bites carried round on boards while guests mingle, perfect during the photos.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. In Sutton, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
