About our wedding paella catering in Blackwall

We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. On the menu are canapé tapas, evening paella and a paella wedding breakfast, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings with lots of dietary needs and destination-style celebrations at home.

For a wedding in Blackwall, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, ready to serve on arrival. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

How the day works

A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. Golden-hour photos in Blackwall 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.

Questions from Blackwall

What’s the nearest station to Blackwall for guests?

Canary Wharf station, about 0.6 miles west of the centre.

Can you cater a reception after a service at All Saints Church?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.

What if the weather’s bad?

We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.

Do you cover Blackwall?

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Blackwall and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, fill in our quote form.

Will you talk to our venue?

Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Introduce us and we’ll sort the details.

Do you cater for suppliers?

Of course. Add your suppliers to the final numbers and we will plan for them.

Will there be enough food?

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.

Do you provide drinks?

Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

Live paella or other catering?

Compared with formal catering, live paella is relaxed and sociable, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
