About our wedding paella catering in Chingford Mount
We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. We’re frequently asked to cater civil partnerships and vow renewals and weddings with a Spanish theme, with Spanish desserts, evening paella and canapé tapas.
London weddings around Chingford Mount frequently mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. In London, parking and loading need planning early. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Step by step
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. In Chingford Mount, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Chingford Mount
Can you cook in The Highams Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Is parking a problem for events in Chingford Mount?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you cover Chingford Mount?
Yes, we do. Chingford Mount is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can paella feel formal?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on presentation and service.
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 feels more relaxed. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
