Wedding paella catering in Kensal Green
Wedding paella catering in Kensal Green, cooked live
The smell of saffron and garlic drifting across a garden or barn gets guests excited about the meal long before it’s served. We’re often asked to cater weddings with a Spanish theme and informal wedding breakfasts, serving evening paella, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.
In Kensal Green, getting guests from ceremony to reception is part of the plan. Paella can be cooking while they’re on the move, ready to serve on arrival. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan.

Kensal Green: your questions answered
Can you cook in Little Wormwood Scrubs?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Which station should guests use for Kensal Green?
Kensal Green has its own station: Kensal Green station.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
What if the timings change?
We adapt. We stay in touch with your coordinator and time the rice so it is served at its best.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Compared with formal catering, live paella is relaxed and sociable, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
Kensal Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
