Why live cooking beats a buffet
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Paella covers them with separate pans. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why Alperton hosts choose us
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks

Step by step
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. In Alperton, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan each course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.

Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
We clear our cooking area away afterwards; staff you’ve booked stay as agreed.
Table tapas make a sociable starter.
Alperton questions
What’s the nearest station to Alperton for guests?
Wembley Central station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St James Church Alperton?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What if our speeches run late?
It happens. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it is ready when you are.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes, it makes life easier. Introduce us and we will sort the details.
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.
About the dishes
Evening paella
Paella makes great evening food.
Canapé tapas
Small bites carried round on boards while guests mingle, perfect during the photos.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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.
