Wedding paella catering in Collier Row
Wedding paella catering in Collier Row, cooked live
The smell of saffron and garlic drifting across a garden or barn has everyone looking forward to dinner. We cook Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas, and typical bookings are for civil partnerships and vow renewals and wedding receptions after a small ceremony.
Couples in Collier Row often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. In London, parking and loading need planning early. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated.

Paella compared with other options
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and suits a relaxed style. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

The menu, dish by dish
Paella wedding breakfast
Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables.
Table tapas
Bowls and boards set down in the middle of each table, such as patatas bravas, croquetas and Manchego.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
The process
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. For a summer wedding in Collier Row, 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 usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We check availability for your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
How to prepare
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Let us know the timings for the day

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Collier Row: your questions answered
Could we have live paella in Raphael Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
We are having a ceremony at The Good Shepherd: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Do you cover Collier Row?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Collier Row. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
What if our speeches run late?
We plan for it. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it’s served at its best.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Before you choose a spot
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
Collier Row is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
