How our wedding paella catering works in Ickenham
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. For receptions after an intimate ceremony and sharing-style wedding meals, we can cook evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas.
Couples in Ickenham often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Live paella works well at both, as long as there is a ventilated spot to cook. In London, parking and loading need planning early. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.

- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.

Questions from Ickenham
Which station should guests use for Ickenham?
West Ruislip station, about 0.9 miles north-east of the centre.
We’re having a ceremony at St Giles' Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from the drinks reception to the evening.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
As a London location, Ickenham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
