How our wedding paella catering works in Enfield Chase

The smell of saffron and garlic drifting across a garden or barn gets guests excited about the meal long before it is served. We are frequently asked to cater blessings and vow renewals and informal wedding breakfasts, with evening paella, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts.

For a wedding in Enfield Chase, 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, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

For event organisers in Enfield Chase

Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.

DIY paella versus live catering

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Why choose live paella in Enfield Chase?

What happens on the day

We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests usually gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. For a summer wedding in Enfield Chase, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

  1. We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
  2. We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
  3. Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
  4. On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
  5. Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
