Live wedding paella catering in South Street
Planning the cooking area
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
As a London location, South Street is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

About our wedding paella catering in South Street
We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. We cook table tapas, Spanish desserts and a paella wedding breakfast, and we are regularly asked to cater barn and farm weddings and sharing-style wedding meals.
London weddings around South Street frequently mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. Plan parking and loading early. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff, whichever suits your day.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.

Questions from South Street
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on how it’s served.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from canapés to evening food.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, sunset in South Street is about 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.
