Where we can cook in Bethnal Green
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
Bethnal Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Put us in touch with your venue
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff, whichever suits your day.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Your questions about wedding paella catering in Bethnal Green
We’re having a ceremony at St Peter's: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook in Bethnal Green Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Do you work with our venue?
Of course. We’re happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.
What about supplier meals?
Of course. Include suppliers in your numbers.
Do you cover Bethnal Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Bethnal Green. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.

The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. Golden-hour photos in Bethnal Green at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
