FAQs for Whitegrove
We’re having a ceremony at Holy Trinity Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Whitegrove from London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can paella feel formal?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
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.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
How much does wedding paella catering cost in Whitegrove?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
Can you cater the whole day?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from canapés to evening food.
Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Enquire early for peak dates
On the day, we liaise with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you do not have to.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
Step by step
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. Golden-hour photos in Whitegrove at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
