Wedding paella catering for your wedding in West Green

Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous and celebratory. For sharing-style wedding meals and garden and marquee weddings, we’ll put together a menu of a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and evening paella and more.

London weddings around West Green 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. Plan parking and loading early. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.

For event organisers in West Green

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

Common questions in West Green

Can you cater a reception after a service at St Philip the Apostle?

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.

Could we have live paella in Downhills Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

Is the paella cooked on site?

Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.

Do you offer tastings?

Ask us about tastings when you contact us.

Can you serve drinks?

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

What happens if it rains?

We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.

When should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

How many different paellas?

Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.

Step by step

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. In West Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. Together we plan each course.
  3. Timings are agreed with your venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve each course.
  5. We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.

Getting ready for the day

  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot
