About our wedding paella catering in Neasden

Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: every paella is cooked separately, so every guest gets a proper hot main. Whether it’s garden and marquee weddings and evening wedding food, we can cook table tapas, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast and more.

Couples in Neasden frequently marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. Plan parking and loading early. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables, with bread and salad.

For planners, venues and organisers

If you’re organising for someone else, 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.

Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

Is live paella right for your wedding?

A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and suits a relaxed style. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

Why book with us

  • Live cooking, not reheated food
  • Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
  • Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
  • Events in Neasden and across Greater London

How we price wedding paella catering

There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:

  • The paellas you choose
  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • Guest numbers
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

What we need to know

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

  • A picture of where we’d cook
  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • The date and time of the event
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children

Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: give us the basics about your wedding, and we will suggest a menu. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.

Choosing a paella caterer

Neasden questions

We’re having a ceremony at St Catherine's Church Neasden with St Paul: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

Can you cook in Gladstone Park?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.

Can you cook halal paella?

Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.

Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?

Of course. We’ll speak to your venue about access and timings.

Do you offer tastings?

Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we’ll explain how it works.

What space do you need to cook?

Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.

What about supplier meals?

Yes. Include suppliers in your numbers and we’ll plan for them.

Is the paella cooked on site?

Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.

DIY paella versus live catering

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Catering for every guest

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:

  • Include any suppliers you are feeding
  • Book early for summer Saturdays
  • Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
  • Choose pan-side or table service

After service, we pack down our cooking area; staff you’ve booked stay as agreed.

Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.

The process

Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Neasden, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
  2. Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
  3. Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
  4. On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
  5. We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.

How to prepare

  • Ensure we can park close by to unload
  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Have a level space ready for the pans

Getting a price

Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
