Wedding paella catering in Harrow Weald, cooked live

A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: every paella is cooked separately, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. For relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts and evening food for extra guests, we’ll put together a menu of table tapas, evening paella and a paella wedding breakfast for your guests.

Couples in Harrow Weald frequently 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. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Should I cook it myself?

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Prices and what affects them

The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • Guest numbers
  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • How long we’re needed on site

Larger events typically cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

What we need to know

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • The courses you’d like
  • A picture of the space, if you can

It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote.

Do you cook it at the event?

Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.

What about supplier meals?

Of course. Add your suppliers to the final numbers and we’ll plan for them.

Do you cater for young children?

Can you serve drinks?

Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.

Planning for every diet

Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:

  • Pick a serving style
  • Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
  • Put us in touch with your venue
  • Tell us when speeches will be

We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you do not have to.

Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available.

Where we can cook in Harrow Weald

No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:

  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area

As a London location, Harrow Weald is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
