How our wedding paella catering works in Teddington
Paella as evening food is popular: it’s hot, filling and quick to serve, so the party keeps going. For blessings and vow renewals and weddings with mixed diets, we’ll put together a menu of canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and table tapas and more.
In Teddington, getting guests from ceremony to reception is part of the plan. Paella can be cooking while they’re on the move, ready to serve on arrival. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
As a London location, Teddington is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

How the day works
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Teddington, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
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. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
