Wedding paella catering in Bromley, made fresh on the day
We can add sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff, so the catering fits the way you want your day to feel. Typical bookings include evening food for extra guests and big weddings with every diet, serving table tapas, evening paella and canapé tapas.
London weddings around Bromley 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’s a ventilated spot to cook. Plan parking and loading early. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Send us the running order and speech times

- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Enquire early for peak dates
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.
DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Occasions we cook for in Bromley
Paella can work for the wedding breakfast, the evening, or both, so it fits any plan.
Big or small, live paella works well. Common bookings include:
- Farm and barn venues
- Civil partnerships and vow renewals
- Relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts
- Receptions after an intimate ceremony
Planning photos in Bob's Park? It is worth checking the park’s rules first.
What to look for in a quote
- Space, access and power needs
- How long the team stays
- Whether VAT is included
- How bad weather is handled
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
As a London location, Bromley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Bromley
Is parking a problem for events in Bromley?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
Could we have live paella in Bob's Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Will you talk to our venue?
Of course. We will speak to your venue about access and timings.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.

Evening paella
Evening paella is hot, filling and fun, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.
The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. For a summer wedding in Bromley, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Check the venue allows live cooking
