Wedding paella catering in Church End, made fresh on the day
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. We’re often asked to cater weddings with mixed diets and food for evening guests, serving canapé tapas, table tapas and Spanish desserts.
London weddings around Church End 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. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Church End: your questions answered
Could we have live paella in Roundwood Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is parking a problem for events in Church End?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you work with our venue?
Of course. We’ll speak to your venue about access and timings.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
We can. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.
What if our speeches run late?
We plan for it. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it is ready when you are.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.

DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Perfect for your wedding in Church End
Mixed diets are easy, which matters at weddings with lots of guests.
Whatever the occasion, live paella can be the centrepiece. We regularly cater:
- Vow renewals and civil ceremonies
- Weddings with a Spanish theme
- Food for evening guests
- Wedding receptions after a small ceremony
If you are marrying at a church near Church End, such as Church of St Mary, a reception in a garden, marquee or hired venue nearby keeps the day flowing: the paella can be cooking while you have photos taken, so it is ready as guests arrive.

- Give us separate day and evening numbers
Fresh pans can be cooked for evening guests, normally timed after the first dance.
