Wedding paella catering in Berrylands
How our wedding paella catering works in Berrylands
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. On the menu are canapé tapas, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and typical bookings are for parties after a register office wedding and big weddings with every diet.
London weddings around Berrylands often mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Live paella works well at both, as long as there is a ventilated spot to cook. In London, parking and loading need planning early. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Berrylands? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

What happens on the day
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. In Berrylands, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
