Live wedding paella catering in Mill Hill
Planning the cooking area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Somewhere close to park and unload
As a London location, Mill Hill 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
- Evening paella
- Canapé tapas
- Sangria & bar staff
- Dessert
- Table tapas
- Paella wedding breakfast
Wedding paella catering in Mill Hill, made fresh on the day
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. For weddings with mixed diets and informal wedding breakfasts, we will put together a menu of a paella wedding breakfast, evening paella and canapé tapas.
London weddings around Mill Hill often 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. In London, parking and loading need planning early. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Questions from Mill Hill
We’re having a ceremony at St Paul's Church: can you cater afterwards?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Mill Hill for guests?
Mill Hill Broadway station, about 1 mile south-west of the centre.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you cater in Mill Hill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Mill Hill is within our area and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, use our quote form.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
The pans are frequently set up where guests can see them, and it makes a great photo.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we’re needed on site
