Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Chadwell Heath
Paella as evening food is popular: it’s hot, filling and quick to serve, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. On the menu are Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas, and we’re often booked for garden and marquee weddings and weddings with mixed diets.
Couples in Chadwell Heath frequently 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. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Enquire early for peak dates
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we will adapt the timing so it’s still served fresh.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.
Organising for someone else?
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. For a summer wedding in Chadwell Heath, 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 typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
