Wedding paella catering for Creekmouth events
Wedding paella catering in Creekmouth, made fresh on the day
We can add sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff, to suit the style of your day. We cook canapé tapas, evening paella and table tapas, and typical bookings are for destination-style celebrations at home and informal wedding breakfasts.
London weddings around Creekmouth frequently mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. Plan parking and loading early. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. At midsummer, sunset in Creekmouth is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including 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.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Tell us when you want to eat
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, use our quote form.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Enquire early for peak dates
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we’ll adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.
Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
As a London location, Creekmouth is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
