Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Millbank
Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous and celebratory. For barn and farm weddings and weddings with lots of dietary needs, we can cook evening paella, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
Couples in Millbank frequently marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. In London, parking and loading need planning early. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Millbank: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at Christ Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook in St James's Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Do you cater in Millbank?
We do. Millbank is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
What if photos overrun?
We adapt. We stay in touch with your coordinator so the paella is served fresh.
Should we have more than one paella?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.

Where we can cook in Millbank

- Somewhere close to park and unload
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
As a London location, Millbank is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

What affects the price in Millbank
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many courses
- Distance and access to the venue
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- What the venue already provides
- The address or venue name
- Diets and allergies you know about

For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
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.
How the day works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a summer wedding in Millbank, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- 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 live and serve each course as planned.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
