Wedding paella catering for Heathrow events
About our wedding paella catering in Heathrow
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. On the menu are table tapas, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and we’re often booked for destination-style celebrations at home and rustic barn weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Heathrow often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
We clear our cooking area away afterwards; staff you’ve booked stay as agreed.
Table tapas make a sociable starter.

Heathrow: your questions answered
Is Heathrow too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Heathrow for guests?
Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 Rail station, in Heathrow itself.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. At midsummer, sunset in Heathrow is about 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.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Give us your final numbers and diets
