About our wedding paella catering in New Addington
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. Popular choices include canapé tapas, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and we’re often booked for garden and marquee weddings and evening food for extra guests.
London weddings around New Addington frequently mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Live paella works well at both, as long as there is a ventilated spot to cook. Plan parking and loading early. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Common questions in New Addington
Is parking a problem for events in New Addington?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Can you cook in Addington Vale?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can we try the food first?
Tell us you’d like a tasting when you enquire, and we will explain how it works.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
How many paellas should we have?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Choose pan-side or table service
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
