Your questions about wedding paella catering in Woodside Park
We are having a ceremony at Saint Barnabas' Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station should guests use for Woodside Park?
Oakleigh Park station, about 1.6 miles north-east of the centre.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Do you cater in Woodside Park?
We do. We cook at events in Woodside Park and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.

How it works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. Golden-hour photos in Woodside Park at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
