Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables

- Enquire early for peak dates
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we will adapt the timing so the paella is served at its best.

Planning the cooking area
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
As a London location, Notting Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Notting Hill
We’re having a ceremony at St John's Notting Hill: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Notting Hill for guests?
The closest is Shepherds Bush station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
How do you work out quantities?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
What if our speeches run late?
We plan for it. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it’s ready when you are.
Can you cater the whole day?
We can. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.
What’s in the pans

Sharing tapas breaks the ice.

How we price wedding paella catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need crockery
- How many courses
- Guest numbers
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Roughly how many adults and children
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: give us the basics about your wedding, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in Notting Hill
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
The process
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, sunset in Notting Hill is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
Before we arrive

How to get a price
