Wedding paella catering in Woodcote Green, cooked live
Evening paella is a favourite: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. For weddings with a Spanish theme and evening wedding food, we will put together a menu of evening paella, canapé tapas and table tapas.
Couples in Woodcote Green 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. Plan parking and loading early. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Woodcote Green
Can you cook in Carshalton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Which station should guests use for Woodcote Green?
Reedham (London) station, about 1.3 miles south-east of the centre.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on how it is served.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Why choose wedding paella catering in Woodcote Green?
