Wedding paella catering in North Sheen, made fresh on the day
Saffron and garlic in the air has everyone looking forward to dinner long before it is served. On the menu are table tapas, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas, and we’re regularly asked to cater rustic barn weddings and parties after a register office wedding.
In North Sheen, getting guests from ceremony to reception is part of the plan. Paella can be cooking while they’re on the move, ready to serve on arrival. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Choose pan-side or table service
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Drinks service on request

What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests usually gather round to watch while it cooks.

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 pick the courses and dishes.
