Live wedding paella catering in Hatch End
Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Hatch End
We can add sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff, to suit the style of your day. Typical bookings include rustic barn weddings and evening food for extra guests, with evening paella, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.
London weddings around Hatch End frequently mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. Plan parking and loading early. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Is live paella right for your wedding?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
Why us?
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Fast service from the pan
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available

Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Hatch End, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
