Wedding paella catering for Tadworth events
About our wedding paella catering in Tadworth
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: every paella is cooked separately, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. Whether it’s evening wedding food and relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts, we will put together a menu of canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella and more.
Weddings in a place like Tadworth frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. A huge pan on the lawn fits right in. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Step by step
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you are free to enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, sunset in Tadworth is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- 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.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
