Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Pick a serving style
- Enquire early for peak dates
- Put us in touch with your venue
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.
About our wedding paella catering in Silvertown
Saffron and garlic in the air has everyone looking forward to dinner long before it is served. Typical bookings include rustic barn weddings and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings, serving a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts.
Couples in Silvertown 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. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Silvertown questions
Could we have live paella in Thames Barrier Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Which station should guests use for Silvertown?
Custom House station, about 0.7 miles north of the centre.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Silvertown? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Step by step
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Golden-hour photos in Silvertown at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
