How our wedding paella catering works in Kenton
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. Popular choices include table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts, and we’re regularly asked to cater weddings with a Spanish theme and rustic barn weddings.
For a wedding in Kenton, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. Paella can be cooking while they’re on the move, ready to serve on arrival. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
Kenton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Perfect for your wedding in Kenton
Paella can work for the wedding breakfast, the evening, or both, so it fits any plan.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Rustic barn weddings
- Vow renewals and civil ceremonies
- Informal wedding breakfasts
- Receptions after an intimate ceremony
If you are hoping for photos in Preston Park, check whether the park needs permission for photography or gatherings.
Questions to ask before you book
- How late numbers can change
- How long the team stays
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
- If the price includes VAT
The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. At midsummer, sunset in Kenton is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
How to prepare

Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
The pans are often set up where guests can see them, and it makes a great photo.
Sangria and bar staff can be added.
