Wedding paella catering in Westbourne, cooked live
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: each paella has its own pan, so every guest gets a proper hot main. We’re often asked to cater informal wedding breakfasts and receptions after an intimate ceremony, serving table tapas, evening paella and Spanish desserts.
In Westbourne, getting guests from ceremony to reception is part of the plan. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, so it’s ready when they arrive. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Westbourne: your questions answered
What about parking in Westbourne?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Could we have live paella in Emslie Horniman's Pleasance?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on how it is served.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
What if the timings change?
We adapt. We stay in touch with your coordinator and time the rice so it is served at its best.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
The process
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over. Golden-hour photos in Westbourne at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- First, we check your date.
