How our wedding paella catering works in Mildmay
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: each paella has its own pan, so every guest gets a proper hot main. Whether it is receptions after an intimate ceremony and relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts, we will put together a menu of Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella.
For a wedding in Mildmay, 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. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
As a London location, Mildmay 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 before booking.
