About our wedding paella catering in Brunswick Park

We can add sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff, so the catering fits the way you want your day to feel. We’re often asked to cater rustic barn weddings and weddings with lots of dietary needs, serving Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and evening paella.

London weddings around Brunswick Park often mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. In London, parking and loading need planning early. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Is live paella right for your wedding?

Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Why book with us

  • Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
  • Sangria and bar staff available
  • Catering across Greater London, including Brunswick Park
  • Served hot, straight from the pan

How the day works

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. In Brunswick Park, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
  2. We plan your menu course by course.
  3. Timings are agreed with your venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve each course.
  5. We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.

Preparing for the day

  • Make sure we can park close by to unload
  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking

Choosing a paella caterer

Space, weather and the venue

We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:

  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot

Brunswick Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

The closest is New Southgate station, roughly 0.9 miles away.

We are having a ceremony at Oakleigh Community Church: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

Do you work with our venue?

Yes. We are happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
