Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Brompton
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. On the menu are table tapas, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and typical bookings are for weddings with lots of dietary needs and weddings with a Spanish theme.
London weddings around Brompton frequently 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 is a ventilated spot to cook. Plan parking and loading early. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

The process
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it is served at its best. In Brompton, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Why choose live paella in Brompton?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and feels more relaxed. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
