Wedding paella catering in Emerson Park, made fresh on the day
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: every paella is cooked separately, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. We are often asked to cater big weddings with every diet and vow renewals and civil ceremonies, with a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and canapé tapas.
London weddings around Emerson Park frequently 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 is a ventilated spot to cook. Plan parking and loading early. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated.

Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. Golden-hour photos in Emerson Park at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
