About our wedding paella catering in Maze Hill
We can add sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff, to suit the style of your day. We cook a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas, and typical bookings are for sharing-style wedding meals and rustic barn weddings.
London weddings around Maze Hill frequently 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. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated.

Dishes our guests love
Evening paella
A second round of paella for the evening, served quickly so the party keeps going.
Canapé tapas
Canapé tapas fill the gap before the meal, without spoiling appetites.
Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
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. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
As a London location, Maze Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
