Your questions about wedding paella catering in Virginia Water
Is Virginia Water close to London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cook in Riverside Walk?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
What about pudding?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Do you come to Virginia Water?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Virginia Water. To check your date, use our quote form.
How much does wedding paella catering cost in Virginia Water?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- How many courses
- How long we are needed on site
- Whether you need crockery
- How many guests are eating
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The date and rough timings
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The address or venue name
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
