Wedding paella catering in Finsbury Park
Wedding paella catering in Finsbury Park, cooked live
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. On the menu are a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and typical bookings are for weddings with mixed diets and vow renewals and civil ceremonies.
In Finsbury Park, getting guests from ceremony to reception is part of the plan. Paella can be cooking while they’re on the move, ready to serve on arrival. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Live paella or other catering?
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Paella covers them with separate pans. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
