Wedding paella catering near Eel Pie Island
How our wedding paella catering works in Eel Pie Island
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: each paella has its own pan, so every guest gets a proper hot main. We cook table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater food for evening guests and parties after a register office wedding.
For a wedding in Eel Pie Island, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. Paella can be cooking while they’re on the move, so it’s ready when they arrive. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Other catering in Eel Pie Island
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
How it works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Eel Pie Island, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is usually 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.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
How to prepare

- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
As a London location, Eel Pie Island is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
