Wedding paella catering for Keston events
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Keston
The smell of saffron and garlic drifting across a garden or barn has everyone looking forward to dinner long before it’s served. For rustic barn weddings and weddings with mixed diets, we can cook table tapas, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas for your guests.
London weddings around Keston 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 Keston
Can you cook in South Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is parking a problem for events in Keston?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
What if photos overrun?
It happens. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it’s served at its best.
Do you cover Keston?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Keston is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
What about pudding?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.

Planning the cooking area

- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Level ground for the pans and burners
Keston is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.
DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
Live paella or other catering?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella is served quickly to many guests. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
