How our wedding paella catering works in Belmont

We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. Whether it’s evening food for extra guests and weddings with a Spanish theme, we will put together a menu of canapé tapas, table tapas and evening paella for your guests.

In Belmont, 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. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Catering for every guest

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:

  • Share your running order, including speeches
  • Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
  • Introduce us to your venue coordinator
  • Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs

We clear our cooking area away afterwards; any staff stay as long as agreed.

Table tapas make a sociable starter.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Space, weather and the venue

We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee

Belmont is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

The process

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. In Belmont, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
  2. Together we plan each course.
  3. Timings are agreed with your venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve each course.
  5. We clear our area; staff stay as booked.

How to prepare

  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot
  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
  • Check the venue allows live cooking
