Live wedding paella catering in South Ealing

Wedding paella catering in South Ealing, cooked live

Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. Typical bookings include evening food for extra guests and weddings with a Spanish theme, serving evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas.

Couples in South Ealing 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.

Choosing a paella caterer

A closer look at the menu

Paella wedding breakfast

Paellas for every guest, served straight from the pan.

Desserts

Spanish desserts from churros to crema catalana.

Step by step

On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. For a summer wedding in South Ealing, 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 normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

  1. Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
  2. We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
  3. We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
  5. We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.

Preparing for the day

  • Plan cover in case of rain
  • Ensure we can park close by to unload
  • Have a level space ready for the pans

DIY paella versus live catering

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in South Ealing

We are having a ceremony at St Mary's Church: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

Is parking a problem for events in South Ealing?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.

Can you provide dessert?

We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.

What happens if it rains?

A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.

Can you feed our photographer and band?

Just add them to your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.

Do you cook it at the event?

Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.

Where do you cater?

We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.

How long do you need on site?

That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.

For planners, venues and organisers

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
