Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Loughborough Junction
The smell of saffron and garlic drifting across a garden or barn gets guests excited about the meal long before it is served. Whether it’s rustic barn weddings and sharing-style wedding meals, we will put together a menu of a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and evening paella for your guests.
London weddings around Loughborough Junction 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 is a ventilated spot to cook. In London, parking and loading need planning early. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee

As a London location, Loughborough Junction is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

FAQs for Loughborough Junction
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Matthew's Camberwell?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Could we have live paella in Max Roach Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Can you cater the whole day?
Yes. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
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. In Loughborough Junction, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.

About the dishes
Paella wedding breakfast
A choice of paellas, served at the pans or to the tables.
Evening paella
Paella makes great evening food.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
