Wedding paella catering in London Docklands, cooked live
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: every paella is cooked separately, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. Typical bookings include big weddings with every diet and marquee and garden weddings, with Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas.
London weddings around London Docklands often mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Live paella works well at both, as long as there is a ventilated spot to cook. In London, parking and loading need planning early. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

- Send us the running order and speech times
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables, whichever suits your day.
