Wedding paella catering in Bush Hill, made fresh on the day

Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous and celebratory. We cook a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and evening paella, and typical bookings are for sharing-style wedding meals and vow renewals and civil ceremonies.

London weddings around Bush Hill 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 is a ventilated spot to cook. Plan parking and loading early. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

Choosing a paella caterer

What affects the price in Bush Hill

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • How long we’re needed on site
  • The paellas you choose
  • How many guests are eating
  • How many staff you need

Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

Details that help

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • Expected numbers
  • The venue or postcode
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. To start, send us your details through our quote form.

How the day works

We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s served at its best. In Bush Hill, 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 3:50pm.

  1. First, we check your date.
  2. You pick the courses and dishes.
  3. We confirm everything with your venue.
  4. The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
  5. We serve and clear our cooking area.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day

FAQs for Bush Hill

Is parking a problem for events in Bush Hill?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.

Could we have live paella in Enfield Town Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

What do you need at the venue?

Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.

Can you do gluten-free paella?

We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

Which areas do you serve?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

Do you cover Bush Hill?

We do. We cook at events in Bush Hill and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.

Can you cater for children?

Of course. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.

Can you supply plates?

Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.

Working with your venue

Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Bush Hill? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.

Planning for every diet

We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Pick a serving style
  • Put us in touch with your venue
  • Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
  • Book early for summer Saturdays

Fresh pans can be cooked for evening guests, generally timed after the first dance.

A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.

DIY paella versus live catering

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

Paella compared with other options

A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
