Wedding paella catering in Enfield Highway, made fresh on the day
Paella has a natural rhythm: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it is best served straight away. We time it around your speeches and photos. For informal wedding breakfasts and weddings in a marquee or garden, we’ll put together a menu of evening paella, table tapas and canapé tapas for your guests.
Couples in Enfield Highway frequently marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. Plan parking and loading early. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Anything your venue supplies
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Where the event is
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
What we need at the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
As a London location, Enfield Highway is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

Step by step
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. For a summer wedding in Enfield Highway, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.

Questions from Enfield Highway
We are having a ceremony at St James' Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook in Gunpowder Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
How do you work out quantities?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Can we try the food first?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we’ll explain how it works.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on how it is served.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
