About our wedding paella catering in Kent Street
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: every paella is cooked separately, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. Whether it’s wedding receptions after a small ceremony and marquee and garden weddings, we can cook table tapas, evening paella and Spanish desserts.
Near Kent Street, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

What else we do in Kent Street
How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. For a summer wedding in Kent Street, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.

Should I cook it myself?
