We cook table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas, and we’re regularly asked to cater weddings in a marquee or garden and evening food for extra guests.

Is live paella right for your wedding?
A buffet can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?

- Catering across Greater London, including Bulphan

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Which station should guests use for Bulphan?
The closest is West Horndon station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
What about parking in Bulphan?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What if our speeches run late?
It happens. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it’s served at its best.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Why choose wedding paella catering in Bulphan?

- How many staff are coming, and for how long

Step by step
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. In Bulphan, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
