How our wedding paella catering works in Woodlands

Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, so the catering fits the way you want your day to feel. For rustic barn weddings and informal wedding breakfasts, we will put together a menu of evening paella, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast and more.

For a wedding in Woodlands, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. Paella can be cooking while they’re on the move, so it is ready when they arrive. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

Diets, allergies and planning

We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
  • Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
  • Send us the running order and speech times
  • Pick a serving style

On the day, we liaise with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you can enjoy yourselves.

Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue doesn’t.

FAQs for Woodlands

Can you cook in Inwood Park?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

What’s the nearest station to Woodlands for guests?

Isleworth station, in Woodlands itself.

Do you provide drinks?

Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

Which areas do you serve?

We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.

What space do you need to cook?

Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.

How long does the paella take?

It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.

Do you do starters?

Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.

Do you clear up afterwards?

Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

About the dishes

Paella wedding breakfast

The main event: paellas for every diet, served hot and generous.

Evening paella

A second round of paella for the evening, quick to serve and filling.

The process

On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. At midsummer, sunset in Woodlands is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

  1. First, we check your date.
  2. You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
  3. We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
  4. Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
  5. We serve, then pack down.

Before we arrive

  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Ensure we can park close by to unload

Planning the cooking area

We will be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:

  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
  • A safe distance from anything that could catch
  • Somewhere close to park and unload

Woodlands is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • Parking and unloading
  • Waiting and bar staff
  • How many courses
  • The number of people

Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

What to tell us

  • Which courses you have in mind
  • A picture of where we’d cook
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • The date and rough timings

Working with your venue

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

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.

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Live paella or other catering?

A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Paella covers them with separate pans. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
