Wedding paella catering in Brewer Street, cooked live

Rural weddings around Brewer Street have a magic of their own, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. Golden-hour photos in Brewer Street at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

Questions from Brewer Street
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Brewer Street from London?
About 17 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How many guests are eating
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How long we’re needed on site
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the space, if you can

- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
