Wedding paella catering for Southall events
Wedding paella catering in Southall, cooked live
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts. We are frequently asked to cater weddings with a Spanish theme and evening wedding food, serving table tapas, evening paella and a paella wedding breakfast.
London weddings around Southall often 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. In London, parking and loading need planning early. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Southall weddings: local tips
Southall is about 3 miles west of Ealing, in Greater London. Anywhere in UB2, we can bring the pans to you. Southall is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our events stretch from Southall to London (about 12 miles away).
For outdoor photos, Middle Lake is close by, and the countryside around Southall suits an outdoor reception. Couples marrying at local churches such as Saint John often hold the reception nearby: the paella can be cooking while you have photos taken, so it is ready as guests arrive.

Common questions in Southall
What about parking in Southall?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Saint John?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need crockery
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
- The courses you’d like
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Paella wedding breakfast
Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables, with bread and salad.
Canapé tapas
Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal, without spoiling appetites.
DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Where we can cook in Southall
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
Southall is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
