Wedding paella catering in Westminster, made fresh on the day
Paella has a natural rhythm: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it’s best served straight away. We time it around your speeches and photos. For garden and marquee weddings and weddings with a Spanish theme, we will put together a menu of Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast and more.
For a wedding in Westminster, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, so it’s ready when they arrive. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Step by step
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. For a summer wedding in Westminster, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

- We plan your menu course by course.

- We cook live on the day and serve each course.

FAQs for Westminster
Can you cook in St James's Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Which station should guests use for Westminster?
The closest is London Victoria station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
What if our speeches run late?
We plan for it. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it’s ready when you are.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
Do you take everything away?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you offer tastings?
Tell us you’d like a tasting when you enquire, and we will talk you through it.
