How our wedding paella catering works in Walthamstow Village
The smell of saffron and garlic drifting across a garden or barn gets guests excited about the meal long before it is served. For sharing-style wedding meals and wedding receptions after a small ceremony, we will put together a menu of canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and a paella wedding breakfast and more.
Couples in Walthamstow Village often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. Plan parking and loading early. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Paella compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Separate paella pans cover every diet. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.

- Waiting staff and crockery on request

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Where we can cook in Walthamstow Village
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
As a London location, Walthamstow Village is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

About the dishes

Desserts
A sweet finish: churros, crema catalana or your wedding cake.
How it works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. In Walthamstow Village, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Common questions in Walthamstow Village
Can you cook in Lloyd Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
What about parking in Walthamstow Village?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from canapés to evening food.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
