About our wedding paella catering in Greenwich
Paella as evening food is popular: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. Typical bookings include weddings with mixed diets and evening wedding food, serving evening paella, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts.
London weddings around Greenwich frequently mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. In London, parking and loading need planning early. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Questions from Greenwich
What’s the nearest station to Greenwich for guests?
Greenwich has its own station: Maze Hill station.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
How much does wedding paella catering cost in Greenwich?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
