Wedding paella catering for your wedding in London Fields
Saffron and garlic in the air has everyone looking forward to dinner. For weddings in a marquee or garden and weddings with lots of dietary needs, we’ll put together a menu of a paella wedding breakfast, evening paella and table tapas for your guests.
London weddings around London Fields frequently 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’s a ventilated spot to cook. Plan parking and loading early. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

What happens on the day
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. In London Fields, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

What we need at the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
London Fields is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
