How our wedding paella catering works in Kingsbury
Paella as evening food is popular: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so the party keeps going. Popular choices include Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas, and typical bookings are for weddings with a Spanish theme and food for evening guests.
For a wedding in Kingsbury, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, ready to serve on arrival. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

FAQs for Kingsbury
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of the Holy Innocents?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Kingsbury?
Hendon station, about 1.5 miles east of the centre.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes, it makes life easier. Introduce us and we’ll sort the details.
Can we have a tasting?
Ask us about tastings when you contact us.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
How many different paellas?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

What else we do in Kingsbury
Step by step
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. In Kingsbury, 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’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Before we arrive
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Leave space around the cooking area

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Choose pan-side or table service
- Put us in touch with your venue
On the day, we liaise with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you do not have to.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
