Live wedding paella catering in Dagenham Green
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Dagenham Green
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. We’re frequently asked to cater evening wedding food and wedding receptions after a small ceremony, serving a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts.
Couples in Dagenham Green often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. 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.

Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
How we price wedding paella catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Your choice of paellas
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we are needed on site
- Waiting and bar staff
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Anything your venue supplies
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests usually gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. At midsummer, sunset in Dagenham Green is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Planning help
What we need at the venue
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
Dagenham Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
