How our wedding paella catering works in Haggerston
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, to suit the style of your day. Typical bookings include weddings with a Spanish theme and relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts, serving Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and evening paella.

Space, weather and the venue
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
Haggerston is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.

DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Haggerston? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
How it works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. At midsummer, sunset in Haggerston is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.

How we price wedding paella catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many courses
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need crockery
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and rough timings
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- The venue or postcode
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Common questions in Haggerston
Could we have live paella in Haggerston Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
What about parking in Haggerston?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Of course. We are happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
What about supplier meals?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.
