About our wedding paella catering in Ealing
We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts. We cook Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and we are often booked for barn and farm weddings and vow renewals and civil ceremonies.
In Ealing, 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. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
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 at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Where we can cook in Ealing

- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls

Paella compared with other options
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Separate paella pans cover every diet. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

How it works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. In Ealing, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We check availability for your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
