How our wedding paella catering works in Wimbledon Chase
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. Popular choices include Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella, and typical bookings are for relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts and farm and barn venues.
Couples in Wimbledon Chase frequently marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Live paella works well at both, as long as there is a ventilated spot to cook. In London, parking and loading need planning early. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

What wedding paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many courses
- Distance and access to the venue
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The number of people
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

What happens on the day
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. In Wimbledon Chase, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Let us know the timings for the day

About the dishes
Paella wedding breakfast
The main event: paellas for every diet, served straight from the pan.
Table tapas
A tapas starter gets tables talking before the paella arrives.
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Live paella or other catering?
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Paella covers them with separate pans. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
Why us?
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- A clear, itemised quote
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
