Vauxhall questions
Could we have live paella in Old Paradise Gardens?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Is parking a problem for events in Vauxhall?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
How many different paellas?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
What if photos overrun?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day and time the rice so it’s served at its best.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Wedding paella catering in Vauxhall, cooked live
Evening paella is a favourite: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so the party keeps going. Typical bookings include food for evening guests and relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts, with a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
London weddings around Vauxhall often mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. In London, parking and loading need planning early. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
- Somewhere close to park and unload
Vauxhall is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Choose pan-side or table service
Fresh pans can be cooked for evening guests, typically timed after the first dance.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Why choose live paella in Vauxhall?
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Paella covers them with separate pans. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.
