Wedding paella catering for Plaistow Green events

Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Plaistow 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. Typical bookings include relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings, with Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella.

A wedding in a small place like Plaistow Green often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated.

What wedding paella catering costs

Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:

  • Guest numbers
  • Travel, parking and access
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
  • The length of service

Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

Getting an accurate quote

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

  • A photo of the space, if you can
  • The date and time of the event
  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children

We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

DIY paella versus live catering

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

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 at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Is live paella right for your wedding?

If you’re weighing up paella against a traditional menu, consider your venue, diets and the style you want. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

Why choose Love Paella in Plaistow Green

How it works

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. In Plaistow Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. Together we plan each course.
  3. We agree timings with you and your venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve each course.
  5. We clear our area; staff stay as booked.

How to prepare

  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Check the venue allows live cooking
