About our wedding paella catering in St George in the East
Paella as evening food is popular: it’s hot, filling and quick to serve, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. For civil partnerships and vow renewals and evening wedding food, we can cook table tapas, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas and more.
Couples in St George in the East frequently 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. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.

Where we can cook in St George in the East
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
As a London location, St George in the East is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we offer

Live paella or other catering?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and suits a relaxed style. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- A clear, itemised quote
- Fast service from the pan
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available

Common questions in St George in the East
Can you cook in William Curtis Ecological Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
We are having a ceremony at St Peter's: can you cater afterwards?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
How the day works
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a summer wedding in St George in the East, 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. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
How to prepare

- Connect us with your coordinator
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables, whichever suits your day.
