For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Live paella or other catering?
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Separate paella pans cover every diet. Larger events normally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Sangria and bar staff available

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Falconwood
Which station should guests use for Falconwood?
Welling station, about 0.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you cook in Shoulder of Mutton Green?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
What if photos overrun?
It happens. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it’s ready when you are.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes. We’ll speak to your venue about access and timings.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Pick a serving style
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
The pans are often set up where guests can see them, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
We can provide crockery and waiting staff if your venue doesn’t.

How the day works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. In Falconwood, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s 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.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
