How we price wedding paella catering
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need crockery
- How long we are needed on site
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The address or venue name
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The courses you’d like
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
How our wedding paella catering works in Dartmouth Park
Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. Whether it is evening food for extra guests and civil partnerships and vow renewals, we can cook canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts and more.
London weddings around Dartmouth Park 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 serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For event organisers in Dartmouth Park
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Getting married in Dartmouth Park?
Dartmouth Park is about 2 miles east of Hampstead, in Greater London. Tell us where your wedding in Dartmouth Park will be, and we will plan access and set-up. Dartmouth Park is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we cook.
If you’re hoping for photos in Whittington Park, check whether the park needs permission for photography or gatherings. If you’re marrying at a church near Dartmouth Park, such as Church of St Mary Brookfield, a reception in a garden, marquee or hired venue nearby keeps the day flowing: the paella can be cooking while you have photos taken, so the meal is ready when you arrive.
Anywhere in NW5, N19 and N7, we can bring wedding paella catering to you. Local streets include Hugo Road, Ward Road and Anson Road; a wedding at home on any of them works well with live paella.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Paella covers them with separate pans. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why us?
- We cover Dartmouth Park and the whole of Greater London
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Drinks service on request

Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, typically timed after the first dance.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
Dartmouth Park: your questions answered
Can you cook in Whittington Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
What about parking in Dartmouth Park?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Can we try the food first?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we’ll explain how it works.

What we need at the venue
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot

Dartmouth Park 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. Golden-hour photos in Dartmouth Park at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
