How our wedding paella catering works in Golders Green
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. On the menu are Spanish desserts, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and typical bookings are for barn and farm weddings and destination-style celebrations at home.
Couples in Golders Green often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Live paella works well at both, as long as there’s a ventilated spot to cook. Plan parking and loading early. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

For planners, venues and organisers

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Step by step
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests generally gather round to watch while it cooks. At midsummer, sunset in Golders Green is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Golders Green: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for events in Golders Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can you cook in Childs Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
What if photos overrun?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day so the paella is served fresh.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
