Wedding paella catering for Pinner events
About our wedding paella catering in Pinner
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, so the catering fits the way you want your day to feel. We cook evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas, and we’re frequently booked for destination-style celebrations at home and relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts.
Couples in Pinner often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Live paella works well at both, as long as there is a ventilated spot to cook. In London, parking and loading need planning early. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A buffet can leave food sitting out. Paella is served hot from the pan when guests are ready. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Why choose Love Paella in Pinner
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

What’s the nearest station to Pinner for guests?
The closest is Hatch End station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Christian Science Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you work with our venue?
Of course. We are happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a price.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.

Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff, whichever suits your day.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue doesn’t.
The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. Golden-hour photos in Pinner at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
