Wedding paella catering for Newbury Park events
Wedding paella catering in Newbury Park, cooked live
Evening paella is a favourite: it’s hot, filling and quick to serve, so the party keeps going. We cook a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and evening paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater spanish-themed and destination-style weddings and civil partnerships and vow renewals.
London weddings around Newbury Park often 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’s a ventilated spot to cook. Plan parking and loading early. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Newbury Park
Can you cook in Valentines Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Which station should guests use for Newbury Park?
Seven Kings station, about 1 mile south-east of the centre.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.

Is live paella right for your wedding?

What’s in the pans
Paella wedding breakfast
A choice of paellas, served at the pans or to the tables, with bread and salad.
Canapé tapas
Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal.
Space, weather and the venue
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
Newbury Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.
