Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
Food vans can create long queues. Paella is served quickly to many guests. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Why us?
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Catering across Greater London, including Bromley
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. 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 usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan each course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Planning help
Your questions about wedding paella catering in Bromley
Can you cook in Church House Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
What about parking in Bromley?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
What if our speeches run late?
It happens. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it is ready when you are.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
We can. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
What else we do in Bromley
What’s in the pans
Paella wedding breakfast
Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables, with bread and salad.
Canapé tapas
Small bites carried round on boards while guests mingle, ideal for the drinks reception.
What wedding paella catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Your choice of paellas
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- The number of people
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.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and rough timings
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A photo of the space, if you can
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Tell us about your wedding in Bromley, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Share your running order, including speeches
If things run late, and we’ll adapt the timing so the paella is served at its best.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
As a London location, Bromley 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 will advise before booking.
