Wedding paella catering in Botany Bay, made fresh on the day
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 is farm and barn venues and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings, we can cook evening paella, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts and more.
Couples in Botany Bay frequently marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. Plan parking and loading early. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

How the day works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. Golden-hour photos in Botany Bay at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can ask on the day

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Dishes our guests love
Table tapas
Bowls and boards set down in the middle of each table, such as patatas bravas, croquetas and Manchego.
Evening paella
Paella makes great evening food, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.

What else we do in Botany Bay
Before you choose a spot
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
As a London location, Botany Bay is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding

Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables, whichever suits your day.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
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.
