Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Middle Park

Planning the cooking area
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
As a London location, Middle Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we offer
- Paella wedding breakfast
- Canapé tapas
- Table tapas
- Dessert
- Sangria & bar staff
- Evening paella
About the dishes
Paella wedding breakfast
Paellas for every guest, served straight from the pan.
Desserts
Churros with chocolate, crema catalana or tarta de Santiago, or your cake as dessert.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Enquire early for peak dates
The pans are frequently set up where guests can see them, and it makes a great photo.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.

The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. Golden-hour photos in Middle Park at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

More for events in Middle Park
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Paella compared with other options
Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why book with us
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
For planners, venues and organisers
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.

Middle Park questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Saviour?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is parking a problem for events in Middle Park?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you work with our venue?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Introduce us and we will sort the details.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan for them.
