Wedding paella catering near Leamouth
Wedding paella catering in Leamouth, cooked live
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. On the menu are Spanish desserts, evening paella and table tapas, and typical bookings are for spanish-themed and destination-style weddings and garden and marquee weddings.
Couples in Leamouth 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. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Live paella or other catering?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and feels more relaxed. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
Why Leamouth hosts choose us
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Sangria and bar staff available

Leamouth: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Luke?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is parking a problem for events in Leamouth?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.
How much does wedding paella catering cost in Leamouth?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Do you offer tastings?
Ask us about tastings when you get in touch.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.

Planning the cooking area

- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
As a London location, Leamouth is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.
