Wedding paella catering in Bounds Green
Wedding paella catering in Bounds Green, made fresh on the day
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. Popular choices include a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and evening paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings.
London weddings around Bounds Green 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. Plan parking and loading early. You will know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Enquire early for peak dates
The pans are frequently set up where guests can see them, and it makes a great photo.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue does not.
Why choose wedding paella catering in Bounds Green?

Common questions in Bounds Green
Can you cook in O. R. Tambo Recreation Ground?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
What about parking in Bounds Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from the drinks reception to the evening.
Can we try the food first?
Ask us about tastings when you contact us.
DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
The process
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Golden-hour photos in Bounds Green at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
