Wedding paella catering in Canada, made fresh on the day
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: each paella has its own pan, so every guest gets a proper hot main. We are frequently asked to cater big weddings with every diet and informal wedding breakfasts, serving Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas.
Near Canada, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Tell us when speeches will be
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff, whichever suits your day.
We can provide crockery and waiting staff if your venue doesn’t.

Live paella or other catering?

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Canada questions
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Canada?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Of course. Include suppliers in your numbers and we will plan for them.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes. We will speak to your venue about access and timings.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Canada.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on presentation and service.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
The process
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. For a summer wedding in Canada, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, 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 4:00pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many staff you need
- How long we’re needed on site
- Parking and unloading
- The paellas you choose
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.
