About our wedding paella catering in Belgravia
Paella as evening food is popular: it is hot, filling and quick to serve, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. We’re often asked to cater wedding receptions after a small ceremony and sharing-style wedding meals, with table tapas, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts.
Couples in Belgravia often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Live paella works well at both, as long as there’s a ventilated spot to cook. In London, parking and loading need planning early. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.

DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
