Wedding paella catering near Primrose Hill
About our wedding paella catering in Primrose Hill
We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. We cook a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and we’re regularly asked to cater sharing-style wedding meals and vow renewals and civil ceremonies.
Couples in Primrose Hill often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. In London, parking and loading need planning early. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
The pans are often set up where guests can see them, and it makes a great photo.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.
How we price wedding paella catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many staff you need
- Travel, parking and access
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How many courses
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us

Primrose Hill: your questions answered
Could we have live paella in Regent's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
What’s the nearest station to Primrose Hill for guests?
Kentish Town West station, about 0.7 miles north-east of the centre.
What if the timings change?
It happens. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it is served at its best.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can paella feel formal?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you offer tastings?
Ask us about tastings when you get in touch.

About the dishes
Evening paella
Paella makes great evening food, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.
Canapé tapas
Small bites carried round on boards while guests mingle, ideal for the drinks reception.
Before you choose a spot
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
As a London location, Primrose Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
Popular choices

How it works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. For a summer wedding in Primrose Hill, 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 typically 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.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote.
Planning help
Is live paella right for your wedding?
Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
