How our wedding paella catering works in Walthamstow
We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. We cook Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater receptions after an intimate ceremony and vow renewals and civil ceremonies.
In Walthamstow, getting guests from ceremony to reception is part of the plan. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, ready to serve on arrival. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Why choose live paella in Walthamstow?
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Paella covers them with separate pans. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why book with us
- Events in Walthamstow and across Greater London
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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.

Can you cook in Lloyd Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
What’s the nearest station to Walthamstow for guests?

What if our speeches run late?

Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.

How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. For a summer wedding in Walthamstow, the sun sets at about 9:20pm 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’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
