Wedding paella catering in Kingsland, cooked live
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts. Whether it is civil partnerships and vow renewals and weddings with mixed diets, we will put together a menu of a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and canapé tapas for your guests.
London weddings around Kingsland frequently mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. Plan parking and loading early. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Fast service from the pan

Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
As a London location, Kingsland is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. In Kingsland, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s 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 is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
Before we arrive

What affects the price in Kingsland
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How long we are needed on site
- Parking and unloading
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Common questions in Kingsland
What about parking in Kingsland?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.
Could we have live paella in Shoreditch Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
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.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Pick a serving style
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Send us the running order and speech times
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we’ll adapt the timing so it’s still served fresh.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue does not.
DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
