Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Walham Green
Timing is everything with paella: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it’s best served straight away. We plan it around your speeches and photos. We cook evening paella, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and we’re often booked for vow renewals and civil ceremonies and evening wedding food.
In Walham Green, getting guests from ceremony to reception is part of the plan. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, so it’s ready when they arrive. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
As a London location, Walham Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it is served at its best. For a summer wedding in Walham Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans

About the dishes
Canapé tapas
Small bites carried round on boards while guests mingle, ideal for the drinks reception.
Table tapas
A tapas starter gets tables talking.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
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 for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
