Wedding paella catering in Northolt, cooked live

Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. Whether it’s informal wedding breakfasts and garden and marquee weddings, we can cook Spanish desserts, evening paella and a paella wedding breakfast for your guests.

London weddings around Northolt 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 is a ventilated spot to cook. In London, parking and loading need planning early. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella is served quickly to many guests. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

Why Northolt hosts choose us

  • Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
  • Catering across Greater London, including Northolt

What we need at the venue

Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:

  • Level ground for the pans and burners
  • Somewhere close to park and unload
  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo

Northolt is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Step by step

A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. In Northolt, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, 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 3:55pm.

  1. Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
  2. Together we plan each course.
  3. Timings are agreed with your venue.
  4. On the day, we cook and serve each course.
  5. We clear our area; staff stay as booked.

Getting ready for the day

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Make sure we can park close by to unload

The menu, dish by dish

Evening paella

Fresh pans for evening guests, served quickly so the party keeps going.

Paella wedding breakfast

Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables.

Should I cook it myself?

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. 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. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
