Your questions about wedding paella catering in Tooting
We’re having a ceremony at St Augustine: can you cater afterwards?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Could we have live paella in Wandle Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
What if the timings change?
We plan for it. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it’s served at its best.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Of course. Add your suppliers to the final numbers and we’ll plan for them.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Organising for someone else?
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.

How it 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 Tooting, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan each course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
