Live wedding paella catering in Stroud Green
Wedding paella catering in Stroud Green, made fresh on the day
Paella has a natural rhythm: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it is best served straight away. We time it around your speeches and photos. Popular choices include canapé tapas, evening paella and a paella wedding breakfast, and typical bookings are for food for evening guests and vow renewals and civil ceremonies.
London weddings around Stroud Green 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. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Stroud Green
Is parking a problem for events in Stroud Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from the drinks reception to the evening.
What about supplier meals?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Can I cook paella for a crowd 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.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
