Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Crews Hill

Paella as evening food is popular: it is hot, filling and quick to serve, so the party keeps going. We’re often asked to cater destination-style celebrations at home and wedding receptions after a small ceremony, with Spanish desserts, evening paella and a paella wedding breakfast.

In Crews Hill, getting guests from ceremony to reception is part of the plan. Paella can be cooking while they’re on the move, ready to serve on arrival. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Crews Hill questions

Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?

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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.

Which station should guests use for Crews Hill?

Crews Hill station, in Crews Hill itself.

Is the paella cooked on site?

Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.

What if photos overrun?

Tell us and we’ll adjust. We stay in touch with your coordinator and time the rice so it is served at its best.

Can you cook halal paella?

We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.

Can you cater the whole day?

We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from canapés to evening food.

Can paella feel formal?

With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.

How much is live paella catering?

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.

How it works

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. For a summer wedding in Crews Hill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.

  1. We check availability for your date.
  2. You pick the courses and dishes.
  3. We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
  4. Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
  5. We serve, then pack down.

How to prepare

  • Make sure we can park close by to unload
  • Plan cover in case of rain
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day

Where we can cook in Crews Hill

We will be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:

  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot
  • A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee

Crews Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
