Live wedding paella catering in Adelphi
How our wedding paella catering works in Adelphi
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. For marquee and garden weddings and informal wedding breakfasts, we can cook Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas for your guests.
In Adelphi, getting guests from ceremony to reception is part of the plan. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, ready to serve on arrival. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.

Questions from Adelphi
Can you cook in Victoria Embankment Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Which station should guests use for Adelphi?
London Charing Cross station, in Adelphi itself.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
What if the timings change?
We plan for it. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it is served at its best.
Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

Space, weather and the venue
We will be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
As a London location, Adelphi is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Adelphi, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.

- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.

How we price wedding paella catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- Your choice of paellas
- Distance and access to the venue
- Guest numbers
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your date and when you want to eat
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Connect us with your coordinator
Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, timed for after the first dance.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
Choosing between paella and a traditional menu?, think about your venue, your guests’ diets and the feel of the day. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
