Wedding paella catering in Clapham Park, cooked live
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. We are frequently asked to cater civil partnerships and vow renewals and parties after a register office wedding, with canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and table tapas.
London weddings around Clapham Park frequently 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’s a ventilated spot to cook. In London, parking and loading need planning early. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

How much is live paella catering?

Can paella feel formal?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on how it’s served.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
What if photos overrun?
Tell us and we will adjust. We keep in touch with your venue on the day so the paella is served fresh.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and suits a relaxed style. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What you get with us
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- A clear, itemised quote
