Wedding paella catering for Hanworth events
Wedding paella catering in Hanworth, made fresh on the day
We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. On the menu are Spanish desserts, evening paella and a paella wedding breakfast, and typical bookings are for parties after a register office wedding and weddings with a Spanish theme.
Couples in Hanworth often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Live paella works well at both, as long as there is a ventilated spot to cook. Plan parking and loading early. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

The process
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. Golden-hour photos in Hanworth at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many staff you need
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The paellas you choose
- How many courses
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Which courses you have in mind
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Your date and when you want to eat
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, use our quote form.
Hanworth questions
Could we have live paella in Crane Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Richard'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 generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cook indoors?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planning the cooking area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
Hanworth is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we offer
- Evening paella
- Sangria & bar staff
- Table tapas
- Paella wedding breakfast
- Dessert
- Canapé tapas
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Choose pan-side or table service
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
We clear our cooking area away afterwards; staff you’ve booked stay as agreed.
Table tapas make a sociable starter.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
- Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
