Wedding paella catering for your wedding in West Brompton

Evening paella is a favourite: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. Typical bookings include farm and barn venues and weddings in a marquee or garden, with a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and evening paella.

London weddings around West Brompton frequently 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. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Common questions in West Brompton

Is parking a problem for events in West Brompton?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.

Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Luke?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.

Do you provide drinks?

Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.

Can we try the food first?

Tell us you’d like a tasting when you enquire, and we will explain how it works.

Can you serve tapas as well?

Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.

What happens if it rains?

We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.

Can you provide dessert?

Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.

How long does the paella take?

That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.

About the dishes

Paella wedding breakfast

A choice of paellas, served at the pans or to the tables, with bread and salad.

Canapé tapas

Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal.

Catering for every guest

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Put us in touch with your venue
  • Send us the running order and speech times
  • Tell us how many evening guests to expect
  • Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers

We usually set up where guests can watch, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.

Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.

How we price wedding paella catering

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:

  • The length of service
  • How many staff you need
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware

Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

What we need to know

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

  • The date and rough timings
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • Which courses you have in mind
  • A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just use our quote form.

For planners, venues and organisers

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Our caterer checklist

Step by step

We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in West Brompton, 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 normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
  2. Together we plan each course.
  3. We agree timings with you and your venue.
  4. On the day, we cook and serve each course.
  5. We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.

Before we arrive

  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot
  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
  • Check the venue allows live cooking

Planning help

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

Before you choose a spot

If a space is not suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:

  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
  • A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
  • Level ground for the pans and burners

As a London location, West Brompton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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.
