About our wedding paella catering in Mayfair
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. Typical bookings include farm and barn venues and receptions after an intimate ceremony, serving table tapas, evening paella and canapé tapas.
For a wedding in Mayfair, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, ready to serve on arrival. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Is live paella right for your wedding?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Common questions in Mayfair
We’re having a ceremony at Grosvenor Chapel: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook in Green Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. 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, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Where we can cook in Mayfair
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
As a London location, Mayfair is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
