Wedding paella catering in Hampton Wick, cooked live
We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. For evening food for extra guests and farm and barn venues, we can cook Spanish desserts, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast and more.
In Hampton Wick, 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. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

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.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
What’s in the pans
Desserts
A sweet finish: Spanish desserts or your own cake.
Canapé tapas
One- and two-bite tapas on boards, ideal for the drinks reception.
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables, whichever suits your day.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.

How the day works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Hampton Wick, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
As a London location, Hampton Wick is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
