About our wedding paella catering in Earlsfield
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. Popular choices include canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella, and typical bookings are for weddings in a marquee or garden and vow renewals and civil ceremonies.
Couples in Earlsfield frequently marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Live paella works well at both, as long as there is a ventilated spot to cook. In London, parking and loading need planning early. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Paella compared with other options
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. 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’ll suggest a menu.
Why book with us
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Paella wedding breakfast
A choice of paellas, served at the pans or to the tables, with bread and salad.
Table tapas
A tapas starter gets tables talking.
Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff, whichever suits your day.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.

The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests typically gather round to watch while it cooks. In Earlsfield, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is generally 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 start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- 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.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
