Wedding paella catering in Twickenham
Wedding paella catering in Twickenham, cooked live
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. Whether it’s wedding receptions after a small ceremony and relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts, we can cook canapé tapas, evening paella and table tapas for your guests.
London weddings around Twickenham 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 is a ventilated spot to cook. In London, parking and loading need planning early.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Twickenham
Can you cater a reception after a service at Salvation Army?

Twickenham station, about 0.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

The process
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over. In Twickenham, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
