About our wedding paella catering in Parsons Green
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts. We cook a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and table tapas, and we are often booked for weddings with mixed diets and garden and marquee weddings.
London weddings around Parsons Green often mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. Plan parking and loading early. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
As a London location, Parsons Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Canapé tapas
- Sangria & bar staff

Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Parsons Green: your questions answered
Could we have live paella in Parsons Green (park)?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
We are having a ceremony at St Dionis: 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. Send us the reception address.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
