Step by step
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell normally draws people over. In Kings Cross, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Paella compared with other options
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why us?
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Sangria and bar staff available

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Kings Cross
Is parking a problem for events in Kings Cross?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.
Could we have live paella in Lewis Cubitt Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.
Can paella feel formal?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on presentation and service.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
