Wedding paella catering in Greenford, cooked live

Paella has a natural rhythm: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We plan it around your speeches and photos. We cook canapé tapas, evening paella and table tapas, and we are often booked for evening food for extra guests and receptions after an intimate ceremony.

For a wedding in Greenford, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, so it is ready when they arrive. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Prices and what affects them

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

  • Waiting and bar staff
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • The paellas you choose
  • The number of people

Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

What to tell us

The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • Expected numbers
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • The date and rough timings
  • Diets and allergies you know about

What happens on the day

Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. Golden-hour photos in Greenford at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

  1. First, we check your date.
  2. You pick the courses and dishes.
  3. We confirm everything with your venue.
  4. Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
  5. We serve, then pack down.

How to prepare

  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable

Working with your venue

Organising a club, school or community event in Greenford? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

Should I cook it myself?

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Occasions we cook for in Greenford

Couples choose paella because it feels relaxed and generous, and because guests remember it.

Whatever you’re celebrating in Greenford, paella can be the star of the food. We regularly cater:

12 questions to ask before you book

Greenford questions

Could we have live paella in Northala Fields?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

Can you cater a reception after a service at Parish Church of the Holy Cross (old Church)?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

Do you do canapés and evening food too?

Any part of the day, or all of it, from the drinks reception to the evening.

Can we try the food first?

Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain the options.

Do you cater in Greenford?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Greenford is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Can you cook halal paella?

We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.

How soon do we need to book?

The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.

What if the weather’s bad?

We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

Why us?

  • Served hot, straight from the pan
  • Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
  • We cover Greenford and the whole of Greater London
  • No hidden extras in your quote

After service, we pack down our cooking area; any staff stay as long as agreed.
