How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. For a summer wedding in Hornchurch Marshes, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm 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.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.

What affects the price in Hornchurch Marshes
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Guest numbers
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

Organising a club, school or community event in Hornchurch Marshes? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
The pans are frequently set up where guests can see them, and it makes a great photo.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. Larger events usually cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

DIY paella versus live catering

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Level ground for the pans and burners
As a London location, Hornchurch Marshes 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 will advise.
