How our wedding paella catering works in West Drayton
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts. Typical bookings include civil partnerships and vow renewals and receptions after an intimate ceremony, serving Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella.
Couples in West Drayton often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Live paella works well at both, as long as there’s a ventilated spot to cook. Plan parking and loading early. You will know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.

Why choose live paella in West Drayton?
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Paella covers them with separate pans. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
West Drayton: your questions answered
What about parking in West Drayton?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Martin: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
