Live wedding paella catering in Colliers Wood
Wedding paella catering in Colliers Wood, made fresh on the day
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. For parties after a register office wedding and informal wedding breakfasts, we’ll put together a menu of table tapas, canapé tapas and evening paella.
For a wedding in Colliers Wood, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, ready to serve on arrival. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

Before you choose a spot
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
As a London location, Colliers Wood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
