Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Bromley Common
Paella as evening food is popular: it is hot, filling and quick to serve, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. Typical bookings include sharing-style wedding meals and farm and barn venues, serving evening paella, Spanish desserts and a paella wedding breakfast.
Couples in Bromley Common frequently marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. In London, parking and loading need planning early. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Working with your venue
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Why choose live paella in Bromley Common?
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Separate paella pans cover every diet. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why Bromley Common hosts choose us
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
