Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Hoxton
Evening paella is a favourite: it’s hot, filling and quick to serve, so the party keeps going. On the menu are canapé tapas, evening paella and table tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater vow renewals and civil ceremonies and relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts.
For a wedding in Hoxton, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, so it is ready when they arrive. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

The process
Watching it cook is half the fun. 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 Hoxton, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We check availability for your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Planning the cooking area
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
As a London location, Hoxton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we offer
- Dessert
- Canapé tapas
- Table tapas

Paella compared with other options
Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why book with us
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Sangria and bar staff available

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Hoxton? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
