Wedding paella catering in Hassell Street
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Hassell Street
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. We’re frequently asked to cater wedding receptions after a small ceremony and civil partnerships and vow renewals, serving Spanish desserts, table tapas and canapé tapas.
A wedding in a small place like Hassell Street frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Guest numbers
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Timings and hours
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. For a summer wedding in Hassell Street, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan cover in case of rain

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Live paella or other catering?
Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
