Live wedding paella catering in Grahame Park
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Grahame Park
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. Popular choices include Spanish desserts, table tapas and canapé tapas, and we’re often booked for vow renewals and civil ceremonies and big weddings with every diet.
Couples in Grahame Park often 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. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated.

Planning the cooking area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
As a London location, Grahame Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables

- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.
FAQs for Grahame Park
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Augustine Grahame Park?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Grahame Park for guests?
The closest is Mill Hill Broadway station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on presentation and service.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
How we price wedding paella catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

- How long we’re needed on site
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff

What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Your date and when you want to eat
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can fill in our quote form.
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. In Grahame Park, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
