Your questions about wedding paella catering in Newington Green
Can you cook in Highbury Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
What’s the nearest station to Newington Green for guests?
Canonbury station, in Newington Green itself.
Can we have a tasting?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain the options.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on presentation and service.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
What happens on the day
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. In Newington Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, 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 check availability for your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
