How our wedding paella catering works in Elm Park
Evening paella is a favourite: it is hot, filling and quick to serve, so the party keeps going. For evening wedding food and weddings with a Spanish theme, we can cook a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and evening paella and more.
London weddings around Elm Park frequently mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. Plan parking and loading early. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
