How our wedding paella catering works in Haverstock

We can do the whole day or just one part: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. We cook table tapas, canapé tapas and evening paella, and typical bookings are for sharing-style wedding meals and wedding receptions after a small ceremony.

For a wedding in Haverstock, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, ready to serve on arrival. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

12 questions to ask before booking

How it works

Here’s how the day normally runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. At midsummer, sunset in Haverstock is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

  1. First, we check your date.
  2. You pick the courses and dishes.
  3. We confirm everything with your venue.
  4. The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
  5. We serve and clear our cooking area.

Before we arrive

  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Share the running order, including any speeches

Where we can cook in Haverstock

Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:

  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
  • A safe distance from anything that could catch
  • Level ground for the pans and burners

As a London location, Haverstock 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’ll advise.

Should I cook it myself?

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Prices and what affects them

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Waiting and bar staff
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
  • How long we are needed on site
  • The number of people

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

What to tell us

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

  • The address or venue name
  • What the venue already provides
  • A picture of the space, if you can
  • Diets and allergies you know about

The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your wedding, and we will put together a menu and price.
