Paella catering for your event in South Kenton
Live paella works almost anywhere with a level, ventilated spot: gardens, marquees, barns, courtyards and festival fields. We’re often asked to cater weddings and evening receptions and festivals, fairs and school events, serving chicken and chorizo paella, vegetable paella and vegan paella.
In a London neighbourhood like South Kenton, the cooking spot is generally a back garden, a courtyard or a venue’s terrace. The thing to plan is parking and unloading, so let us know about parking permits or a driveway. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Where we can cook in South Kenton
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
As a London location, South Kenton 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 before booking.

What else we do in South Kenton
DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Is live paella right for your event?
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and food can sit out for a while. Paella is cooked live and served hot. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

A closer look at the menu
Vegetable and vegan paella
A slow sofrito, seasonal vegetables and a good vegetable stock make a paella that stands on its own. Vegan versions use plant-based stock.
Mixed paella
A mix of chicken and seafood, for guests who want a bit of everything.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell us what else is being served
- Ask for labels on each pan
- Pick a mix of paellas to cover every diet
The rice takes about 20 minutes once it goes in, so we time it carefully. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
Finish with churros, crema catalana or tarta de Santiago, or serve your own cake.
