Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Green Street Green
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: every paella is cooked separately, so every guest gets a proper hot main. We cook canapé tapas, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and we are regularly asked to cater big weddings with every diet and receptions after an intimate ceremony.
In Green Street Green, 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. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. For a summer wedding in Green Street Green, 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 typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Tell us your 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.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
Green Street Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: 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 before booking.

What wedding paella catering costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Your choice of paellas
- Travel, parking and access
- The length of service
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The date and rough timings
Send us the date, your venue or BR6 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

Common questions in Green Street Green
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What if photos overrun?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day so the paella is served fresh.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from canapés to evening food.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.

Should I cook it myself?
