Wedding paella catering near Northumberland Heath
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
How our wedding paella catering works in Northumberland Heath
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, to suit the style of your day. We’re often asked to cater sharing-style wedding meals and farm and barn venues, with Spanish desserts, evening paella and table tapas.
For a wedding in Northumberland Heath, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, so it’s ready when they arrive. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Planning the cooking area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
As a London location, Northumberland Heath is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Could we have live paella in Braeburn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

The process
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Northumberland Heath, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables, whichever suits your day.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue does not.
