Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Enquire early for peak dates
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
The pans are often set up where guests can see them, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
We can provide crockery and waiting staff if your venue doesn’t.
How our wedding paella catering works in Nunhead
We can add sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff, to suit the style of your day. Whether it is marquee and garden weddings and food for evening guests, we will put together a menu of table tapas, evening paella and canapé tapas for your guests.
For a wedding in Nunhead, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, ready to serve on arrival. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Prices and what affects them

- The length of service
- How many guests are eating
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Nunhead questions
Can you cook in Peckham Rye?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
What about parking in Nunhead?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.
How much does wedding paella catering cost in Nunhead?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a price.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Will you talk to our venue?

Where we can cook in Nunhead
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
As a London location, Nunhead is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. For a summer wedding in Nunhead, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
