Wedding paella catering in Rush Green
Wedding paella catering in Rush Green, made fresh on the day
Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous and celebratory. Typical bookings include receptions after an intimate ceremony and food for evening guests, with evening paella, canapé tapas and table tapas.
London weddings around Rush Green 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. Plan parking and loading early. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated.

Planning the cooking area
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Level ground for the pans and burners
As a London location, Rush Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

- Guest numbers
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What we need to know
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- What the venue already provides
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many adults and children
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
After service, we pack down our cooking area; staff you’ve booked stay as agreed.
Sangria and bar staff can be added.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Step by step
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. In Rush Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Rush Green questions
We are having a ceremony at St Augustine of Canterbury Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Rush Green?
Romford station, about 0.7 miles north-east of the centre.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes. We’ll speak to your venue about access and timings.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
