Wedding paella catering near Edgware
Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Choose pan-side or table service
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, normally timed after the first dance.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.
Wedding paella catering in Edgware, cooked live
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, to suit the style of your day. For vow renewals and civil ceremonies and sharing-style wedding meals, we will put together a menu of evening paella, table tapas and Spanish desserts.
London weddings around Edgware often mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Live paella works well at both, as long as there’s a ventilated spot to cook. Plan parking and loading early. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

What wedding paella catering costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether you need crockery
- How long we’re needed on site
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Guest numbers
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Where the event is
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the space, if you can
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
How the day 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. In Edgware, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Is live paella right for your wedding?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Why us?
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
