How our wedding paella catering works in Wimbledon Park
The smell of saffron and garlic drifting across a garden or barn has everyone looking forward to dinner long before it is served. We cook canapé tapas, evening paella and table tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings in a marquee or garden and receptions after an intimate ceremony.
London weddings around Wimbledon Park 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. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.

Common questions in Wimbledon Park
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Luke: can you cater afterwards?
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. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Wimbledon Park?
Earlsfield station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Of course. Include suppliers in your numbers.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a price.
Do you offer tastings?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain the options.

Planning the cooking area

- Level ground for the pans and burners
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
As a London location, Wimbledon Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How it works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. For a summer wedding in Wimbledon Park, 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. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan each course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
