About our wedding paella catering in Loxford
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, to suit the style of your day. We are frequently asked to cater weddings with a Spanish theme and food for evening guests, serving a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and table tapas.
London weddings around Loxford often mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. Plan parking and loading early. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Loxford
Is parking a problem for events in Loxford?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can you cook in Loxford Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Do you cover Loxford?

Can we try the food first?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we will talk you through it.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.

Step by step
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. For a summer wedding in Loxford, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- 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.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
