Wedding paella catering in Eastfields, cooked live
Paella as evening food is popular: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. We are often asked to cater evening wedding food and weddings with mixed diets, serving canapé tapas, evening paella and Spanish desserts.
For a wedding in Eastfields, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. Paella can be cooking while they’re on the move, ready to serve on arrival. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, never made in advance and reheated.

Mitcham Eastfields station, in Eastfields itself.
What about parking in Eastfields?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.

Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
What about supplier meals?
Yes. Include suppliers in your numbers.
Why live cooking beats a buffet

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. At midsummer, sunset in Eastfields is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- 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.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans

Where we can cook in Eastfields

- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
As a London location, Eastfields is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Dishes our guests love
Paella wedding breakfast
Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables, with bread and salad.
Evening paella
Paella makes great evening food, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.
DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
