Our wedding paella catering in Greater London

Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. We cook a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and we are frequently booked for weddings with mixed diets and civil partnerships and vow renewals.

Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it.

  1. Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
  2. Together we plan each course.
  3. We agree timings with you and your venue.
  4. On the day, we cook and serve each course.
  5. We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.

Planning a paella wedding in Greater London

Greater London offers town venues in London, City of Westminster and Marylebone and countryside settings across 87 villages and hamlets. Whatever you choose, we agree the cooking spot with your venue. Parts of Greater London are within a few miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles and cooking.

London: Nearby historic houses include Mansion House (1 mile north) and Dr Johnson's House (1.2 miles north-west). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on caterers and live cooking. If you’re marrying at a church near London, such as St George the Martyr, a reception in a garden, marquee or hired venue nearby keeps the day flowing: the paella can be cooking while you have photos taken, so it’s ready as guests arrive. Golden-hour photos in London at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

Catering for every guest

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

  • Include any suppliers you are feeding
  • Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
  • Share your running order, including speeches
  • Pick a serving style

After service, we pack down our cooking area; any staff stay as long as agreed.

A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.

Should I cook it myself?

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Before you choose a spot

The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:

  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans

FAQs for Greater London

Do you clear up afterwards?

We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.

When do you arrive?

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

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, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.

Can you cater the whole day?

We can. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.

Where do you cater?

We cater across London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.

Do you do starters?

Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
