Wedding paella catering in North Hyde

What happens on the day

A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. Golden-hour photos in North Hyde at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. We plan your menu course by course.
  3. Timings are agreed with your venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve each course.
  5. We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.

Getting ready for the day

  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Wedding paella catering in North Hyde, cooked live

Timing is everything with paella: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it’s best served straight away. We time it around your speeches and photos. For weddings with a Spanish theme and vow renewals and civil ceremonies, we can cook canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts.

Couples in North Hyde often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Live paella works well at both, as long as there’s a ventilated spot to cook. In London, parking and loading need planning early. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in North Hyde

We are having a ceremony at St Leonard's 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. Tell us where the reception will be.

What’s the nearest station to North Hyde for guests?

The closest is Southall station, roughly 1 mile away.

Will there be enough food?

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.

Can you do our whole wedding menu?

Yes. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.

Do you provide drinks?

Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.

Can you do gluten-free paella?

Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Do you do desserts?

We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.

Do you cover North Hyde?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and North Hyde is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.

What affects the price in North Hyde

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • How many guests are eating
  • Waiting and bar staff
  • How long we are needed on site
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood

Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

What we need to know

The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Please include:

  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • The date and time of the event
  • Anything your venue supplies
  • Which courses you have in mind

Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

What’s in the pans

Evening paella

Evening paella is hot, filling and fun.

Table tapas

Bowls and boards set down in the middle of each table, such as patatas bravas, croquetas and Manchego.

Catering for every guest

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Connect us with your coordinator
  • Tell us when speeches will be
  • Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
  • Count day and evening guests separately

On the day, we liaise with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you can enjoy yourselves.

Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.

DIY paella versus live catering

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.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Working with your venue

Organising a club, school or community event in North Hyde? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
