Live wedding paella catering in Limehouse
Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Wedding paella catering in Limehouse, cooked live
We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. We’re often asked to cater barn and farm weddings and sharing-style wedding meals, serving canapé tapas, table tapas and evening paella.
In Limehouse, getting guests from ceremony to reception is part of the plan. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, so it’s ready when they arrive. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

Where we can cook in Limehouse
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
As a London location, Limehouse is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Why choose live paella in Limehouse?
Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

Limehouse: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Paul's Bow Common?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Could we have live paella in Bartlett Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
We can. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Who books wedding paella catering in Limehouse?
Sharing food gets tables chatting.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Evening food for extra guests
- Destination-style celebrations at home
- Parties after a register office wedding
- Barn and farm weddings
Couples marrying at local churches such as St Paul's Bow Common often hold the reception nearby: we can be cooking during the photos, so it is ready as guests arrive.

A closer look at the menu
Evening paella
Evening paella is hot, filling and fun, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.
Paella wedding breakfast
Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables, with bread and salad.
Step by step
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Golden-hour photos in Limehouse at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- We check availability for your date.
