Diets, allergies and planning

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:

  • Tell us how many evening guests to expect
  • Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
  • Book early for summer Saturdays
  • Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers

Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables.

We can provide crockery and waiting staff.

Wedding paella catering in Snaresbrook, cooked live

Paella as evening food is popular: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so the party keeps going. Typical bookings include weddings with mixed diets and food for evening guests, with a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.

Couples in Snaresbrook often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. Plan parking and loading early. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Questions from Snaresbrook

What’s the nearest station to Snaresbrook for guests?

The closest is Wood Street station, roughly 0.7 miles away.

Is parking a problem for events in Snaresbrook?

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.

Do you take everything away?

Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.

Will you talk to our venue?

Of course. We’re happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.

Do you provide drinks?

Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.

Can you serve tapas as well?

Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.

When do you arrive?

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.

How it works

We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. For a summer wedding in Snaresbrook, 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 typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

  1. We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
  2. Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
  3. We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
  4. On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
  5. We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.

How to prepare

  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Have a level space ready for the pans

Planning the cooking area

Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
  • Parking close enough to carry equipment

As a London location, Snaresbrook is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
