About our wedding paella catering in Wennington
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. On the menu are table tapas, canapé tapas and evening paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater evening wedding food and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings.
Couples in Wennington frequently marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Live paella works well at both, as long as there is a ventilated spot to cook. Plan parking and loading early. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Wennington
What’s the nearest station to Wennington for guests?
Rainham (Essex) station, about 1.4 miles north-west of the centre.
Is parking a problem for events in Wennington?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Do you come to Wennington?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Wennington and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
What if the timings change?
We plan for it. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it’s ready when you are.
Organising for someone else?
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Step by step
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. At midsummer, sunset in Wennington is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Let us know the timings for the day

Planning help
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Enquire early for peak dates
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
Fresh pans can be cooked for evening guests, timed for after the first dance.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
What wedding paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Travel, parking and access
- The paellas you choose
- Whether you need crockery
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your date and when you want to eat
- A photo of the space, if you can
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, fill in our quote form.
About the dishes
Desserts
Spanish desserts from churros to crema catalana.
