Wedding paella catering for St Margarets events
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in St Margarets
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. We cook canapé tapas, table tapas and evening paella, and we are frequently booked for sharing-style wedding meals and rustic barn weddings.
London weddings around St Margarets often mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Live paella works well at both, as long as there’s a ventilated spot to cook. In London, parking and loading need planning early. You will know exactly what’s included before booking: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in St Margarets
Can you cater a reception after a service at All Souls?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook in Richmond Green?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Do you offer tastings?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we’ll explain how it works.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.

Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Enquire early for peak dates
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you don’t have to.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Planning the cooking area
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
St Margarets is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, 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. In St Margarets, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, 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 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Share the running order, including any speeches
