Book wedding paella catering in Sipson

The process

From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. For a summer wedding in Sipson, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. Together we plan each course.
  3. Timings are agreed with your venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve each course.
  5. We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.

Getting ready for the day

  • Check the venue allows live cooking
  • Plan cover in case of rain
  • Give us a contact for the day

About the dishes

Paella wedding breakfast

Paellas for every guest, served hot and generous.

Desserts

Spanish desserts from churros to crema catalana.

Why choose wedding paella catering in Sipson?

Paella can work for the wedding breakfast, the evening, or both, so it fits any plan.

Live paella works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:

  • Rustic barn weddings
  • Relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts
  • Wedding receptions after a small ceremony
  • Spanish-themed and destination-style weddings

Historic houses near Sipson include Osterley House (4.3 miles east) and Ickenham Hall (4.6 miles north). Historic houses and estates frequently have their own rules on caterers and cooking, so check early if that is your venue.

Choosing a paella caterer

DIY paella versus live catering

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

What affects the price in Sipson

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Your choice of paellas
  • The number of people
  • Timings and hours
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables

Larger events typically cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

What we need to know

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

  • A picture of where we’d cook
  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • Where the event is
  • What the venue already provides

It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.

Planning for every diet

We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Tell us when speeches will be
  • Book early for summer Saturdays
  • Connect us with your coordinator
  • Tell us how many evening guests to expect

We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you do not have to.

Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.

Where we can cook in Sipson

We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:

  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot
  • A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee

As a London location, Sipson 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 photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.
