Wedding paella catering for Grove Park events
Wedding paella catering in Grove Park, cooked live
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, to suit the style of your day. We cook a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and table tapas, and typical bookings are for receptions after an intimate ceremony and weddings with lots of dietary needs.
Couples in Grove Park often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. In London, parking and loading need planning early. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
If things run late, and we’ll adapt the timing so the paella is served at its best.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue doesn’t.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

Dishes our guests love
Canapé tapas
Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal, without spoiling appetites.
Desserts
Spanish desserts from churros to crema catalana, or your cake as dessert.
Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Planning the cooking area
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
Grove Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Grove Park: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at St Paul's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Could we have live paella in Dukes Meadows?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
What about supplier meals?
Just add them to your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
Can paella feel formal?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on how it’s served.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Grove Park.
What about pudding?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Do you offer tastings?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we’ll talk you through it.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
What happens on the day
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. In Grove Park, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s 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.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Have a level space ready for the pans
