How our wedding paella catering works in Clapham Junction
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous and celebratory. Popular choices include Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas, and we are often booked for evening food for extra guests and weddings with a Spanish theme.
In Clapham Junction, getting guests from ceremony to reception is part of the plan. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, so it is ready when they arrive. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated.

Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Pick a serving style
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Enquire early for peak dates
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we will adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available.
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Level ground for the pans and burners
As a London location, Clapham Junction is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.
What we offer
- Paella wedding breakfast
- Evening paella
- Dessert
- Canapé tapas
- Sangria & bar staff
- Table tapas
The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. At midsummer, sunset in Clapham Junction is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
How to prepare
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
Getting a price
Send us the date, your venue or SW11 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. Just fill in our quote form.
