What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Somewhere close to park and unload
As a London location, Brixton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we offer
- Paella wedding breakfast
- Dessert
- Canapé tapas

DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
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.

What wedding paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many staff you need
- Guest numbers
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The address or venue name
- What the venue already provides
- The courses you’d like
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your wedding, and we’ll suggest paellas and extras to suit.
Paella compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Paella covers them with separate pans. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
Why book with us
- Catering across Greater London, including Brixton
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, sunset in Brixton is about 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.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.

- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
