How our wedding paella catering works in Seven Dials
Evening paella is a favourite: it’s hot, filling and quick to serve, so the party keeps going. We’re often asked to cater weddings with a Spanish theme and sharing-style wedding meals, with evening paella, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
In Seven Dials, getting guests from ceremony to reception is part of the plan. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, so it’s ready when they arrive. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Pick a serving style
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Put us in touch with your venue
On the day, we liaise with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you do not have to.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.
How the day works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a summer wedding in Seven Dials, 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 usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
