Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Brimsdown

We can do the whole day or just one part: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. We are frequently asked to cater weddings in a marquee or garden and evening food for extra guests, with evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas.

Couples in Brimsdown 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. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Planning for every diet

Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:

  • Choose pan-side or table service
  • Introduce us to your venue coordinator
  • Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
  • Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers

We clear our cooking area away afterwards; any staff stay as long as agreed.

Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.

Choosing a paella caterer

Planning the cooking area

We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • Level ground for the pans and burners
  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
  • An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee

As a London location, Brimsdown is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

Brimsdown questions

Can you cook in Lee Valley Park?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.

Which station should guests use for Brimsdown?

Brimsdown station, in Brimsdown itself.

Can you bring crockery?

If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.

What do you need at the venue?

Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.

Can you serve drinks?

Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.

How long does the paella take?

That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.

Can you do our whole wedding menu?

Any part of the day, or all of it, from the drinks reception to the evening.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.

DIY paella versus live catering

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

For event organisers in Brimsdown

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
