Your questions about wedding paella catering in North Street
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you come out to small places like North Street?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you cater in North Street?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including North Street and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Organising a club, school or community event in North Street? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.

Paella compared with other options
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella is served quickly to many guests. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.

- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

How the day works
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. For a summer wedding in North Street, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Share the running order, including any speeches
