Marylebone questions
Can you cook in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
We’re having a ceremony at Russian chapel on Welbeck Street: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Wedding paella catering in Marylebone, cooked live
Paella as evening food is popular: it’s hot, filling and quick to serve, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. For sharing-style wedding meals and food for evening guests, we’ll put together a menu of evening paella, Spanish desserts and table tapas and more.
For a wedding in Marylebone, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, so it’s ready when they arrive. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated.

Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. In Marylebone, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is 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 is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable

Why Marylebone hosts choose us
- Fast service from the pan
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment

Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

What wedding paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Whether you need crockery
- Guest numbers
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Larger events usually cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

About the dishes
Desserts
A sweet finish: Spanish desserts or your own cake.
Canapé tapas
Small bites carried round on boards while guests mingle, perfect during the photos.
Before you choose a spot
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Somewhere close to park and unload
As a London location, Marylebone is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
