Wedding paella catering in Blackheath, made fresh on the day
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous and celebratory. We cook canapé tapas, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and we’re frequently booked for destination-style celebrations at home and sharing-style wedding meals.
In Blackheath, 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. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella goes straight from pan to plate when guests are ready. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Enquire early for peak dates
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Send us the running order and speech times
After service, we pack down our cooking area; any staff stay as long as agreed.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it is served at its best. In Blackheath, 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.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Give us a contact for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
