Your questions about wedding paella catering in Stockwell
We are having a ceremony at St. Andrew's: 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station should guests use for Stockwell?
Brixton station, about 0.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Can you cater the whole day?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from canapés to evening food.
What wedding paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long we are needed on site
- Parking and unloading
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Roughly how many adults and children

Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. In Stockwell, 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 is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan each course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
