Wedding paella catering in Cannon Hill, made fresh on the day
Paella has a natural rhythm: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We time it around your speeches and photos. Typical bookings include destination-style celebrations at home and weddings in a marquee or garden, with evening paella, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts.
Couples in Cannon Hill often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Live paella works well at both, as long as there’s a ventilated spot to cook. In London, parking and loading need planning early. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
Cannon Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

Cannon Hill questions
Can you cook in Cannon Hill Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
We’re having a ceremony at St James Merton: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
What if the timings change?
We plan for it. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it’s served at its best.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you do not have to.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. For a summer wedding in Cannon Hill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
