Live wedding paella catering in Hounslow West

Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Hounslow West

A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. For destination-style celebrations at home and food for evening guests, we’ll put together a menu of Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and table tapas.

Couples in Hounslow West often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. Plan parking and loading early. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, never made in advance and reheated.

What we need at the venue

We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

  • A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls

Hounslow West is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How we price wedding paella catering

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Distance and access to the venue
  • How many staff you need
  • The paellas you choose
  • Timings and hours

Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before booking.

Getting an accurate quote

  • A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
  • The courses you’d like
  • Roughly how many adults and children

To get a price, fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your wedding, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.

Diets, allergies and planning

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:

  • Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
  • Put us in touch with your venue
  • Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
  • Count day and evening guests separately

If things run late, and we will adapt the timing so the paella is served at its best.

Table tapas make a sociable starter.

About the dishes

Canapé tapas

Canapé tapas fill the gap before the meal, without spoiling appetites.

Evening paella

Paella makes great evening food, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.

How it works

The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. In Hounslow West, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. Together we plan each course.
  3. Timings are agreed with your venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve each course.
  5. We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.

How to prepare

  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
