Wedding paella catering for Totteridge events
Wedding paella catering in Totteridge, cooked live
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, to suit the style of your day. We cook table tapas, canapé tapas and evening paella, and we are regularly asked to cater informal wedding breakfasts and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings.
For a smaller place like Totteridge, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We’ll need a level spot and a way to reach it. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, 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 you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

Paella wedding breakfast
The main event: paellas for every diet, served hot and generous.
Table tapas
A tapas starter gets tables talking.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Pick a serving style
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Connect us with your coordinator
We normally set up where guests can watch, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.

Totteridge: your questions answered
How far is Totteridge from London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Can paella feel formal?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
Can you cook indoors?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
What about supplier meals?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from the drinks reception to the evening.
How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. For a summer wedding in Totteridge, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. 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, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
