Wedding paella catering in Greenhill

How our wedding paella catering works in Greenhill

Evening paella is a favourite: it’s hot, filling and quick to serve, so the party keeps going. Typical bookings include destination-style celebrations at home and receptions after an intimate ceremony, serving canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and evening paella.

In Greenhill, 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. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

What happens on the day

Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. Golden-hour photos in Greenhill at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

  1. You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
  2. We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
  3. We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
  5. We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.

Choosing a paella caterer

For planners, venues and organisers

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Dishes our guests love

Paella wedding breakfast

Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables.

Desserts

Spanish desserts from churros to crema catalana.

Paella compared with other options

A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and suits a relaxed style. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.

Space, weather and the venue

The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:

  • An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans

Greenhill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Greenhill questions

Is parking a problem for events in Greenhill?

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.

Can you cook in Northwick Park?

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

How long does the paella take?

It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.

Do you provide drinks?

Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.

Do you cater for suppliers?

Yes. Include suppliers in your numbers.

What do you need at the venue?

A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.

Is the paella cooked on site?

Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.

Catering for every guest

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:

  • Share your running order, including speeches
  • Put us in touch with your venue
  • Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
  • Book early for summer Saturdays

Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables, whichever suits your day.

Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.

Should I cook it myself?

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
