Wedding paella catering for Queensbury events

How our wedding paella catering works in Queensbury

Evening paella is a favourite: it’s hot, filling and quick to serve, so the party keeps going. Typical bookings include spanish-themed and destination-style weddings and food for evening guests, serving table tapas, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.

London weddings around Queensbury frequently 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. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Is live paella right for your wedding?

Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella is served hot from the pan when guests are ready. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.

  2. Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
  3. Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
  4. On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
  5. We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.

Preparing for the day

  • Ensure we can park close by to unload

Diets, allergies and planning

Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:

  • Introduce us to your venue coordinator
  • Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
  • Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
  • Enquire early for peak dates

Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, timed for after the first dance.

Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.

Should I cook it myself?

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
