How the day works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. At midsummer, sunset in Bedford Park 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.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Tell us when you want to eat

Wedding paella catering in Bedford Park, cooked live
Paella has a natural rhythm: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We time it around your speeches and photos. Typical bookings include weddings with mixed diets and receptions after an intimate ceremony, serving a paella wedding breakfast, evening paella and table tapas.
For a wedding in Bedford Park, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, so it’s ready when they arrive. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

For event organisers in Bedford Park
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Choose pan-side or table service
We generally set up where guests can watch, and it makes a great photo.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.

Should I cook it myself?
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 paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
