About our wedding paella catering in Weston Green
Paella as evening food is popular: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so the party keeps going. Whether it’s civil partnerships and vow renewals and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings, we can cook canapé tapas, evening paella and a paella wedding breakfast and more.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Weston Green, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
How it works
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. In Weston Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- 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
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

What affects the price in Weston Green
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The number of people
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Whether you need crockery
- Travel, parking and access
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

- The courses you’d like

Weston Green questions
Which station should guests use for Weston Green?
Thames Ditton station, in Weston Green itself.
How far is Weston Green from London?
About 13 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Should we have more than one paella?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
The menu, dish by dish
Evening paella
A second round of paella for the evening, served quickly so the party keeps going.
Table tapas
Sharing tapas breaks the ice before the paella arrives.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and suits a relaxed style. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
