Wedding paella catering in Acton
About our wedding paella catering in Acton
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts. On the menu are evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater garden and marquee weddings and farm and barn venues.
London weddings around Acton often mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Live paella works well at both, as long as there’s a ventilated spot to cook. Plan parking and loading early. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Questions from Acton
Is parking a problem for events in Acton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Dominion Cinema?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can you cater the whole day?
We can. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.
What about supplier meals?
Yes. Add your suppliers to the final numbers and we will plan for them.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Of course. We’ll speak to your venue about access and timings.
Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. In Acton, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Level ground for the pans and burners
Acton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.
