Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Pitshanger
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. Whether it’s sharing-style wedding meals and garden and marquee weddings, we can cook Spanish desserts, evening paella and table tapas.
London weddings around Pitshanger 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. In London, parking and loading need planning early. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. In Pitshanger, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s 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.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
Getting ready for the day

Which station should guests use for Pitshanger?
The closest is Castle Bar Park station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Could we have live paella in Castle Bar Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from the drinks reception to the evening.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.
Do you offer tastings?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we will explain how it works.
Do you cover Pitshanger?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Pitshanger is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish
Paella wedding breakfast
A choice of paellas, served at the pans or to the tables, with bread and salad.
Table tapas
Bowls and boards set down in the middle of each table, from bravas to croquetas and Manchego.
Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Pick a serving style
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
On the day, we liaise with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you don’t have to.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.
Live paella or other catering?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Why book with us
- Events in Pitshanger and across Greater London

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Pitshanger? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
