About our wedding paella catering in Little Venice
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. Whether it is weddings in a marquee or garden and receptions after an intimate ceremony, we’ll put together a menu of canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella.

Common questions in Little Venice
Could we have live paella in Kensington Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
We’re having a ceremony at St Saviour's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
What about supplier meals?
Yes. Add your suppliers to the final numbers and we will plan for them.
Do you work with our venue?
Yes. We are happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you offer tastings?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain the options.

Step by step
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Little Venice, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan each course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches

As a London location, Little Venice is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

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.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
