Wedding paella catering in South Kenton, made fresh on the day

Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. We are often asked to cater weddings with a Spanish theme and food for evening guests, with a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and evening paella.

Couples in South Kenton often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Live paella works well at both, as long as there’s a ventilated spot to cook. Plan parking and loading early. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

How we price wedding paella catering

Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • Guest numbers
  • How many staff you need
  • The paellas you choose

Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

Getting an accurate quote

These details help us quote quickly:

  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field

Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.

Working with your venue

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

Live paella or other catering?

Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and feels more relaxed. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

Questions from South Kenton

Can you cook in Preston Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

We’re having a ceremony at Church of the Annunciation: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

Do you cover South Kenton?

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and South Kenton is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.

Do you offer halal options?

Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.

How much does wedding paella catering cost in South Kenton?

We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.

Can the paella be cooked in a hall?

Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.

How many paellas should we have?

Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.

Do you take everything away?

We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.

The process

On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. In South Kenton, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
  2. Together we plan each course.
  3. Timings are agreed with your venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve each course.
  5. We clear our area; staff stay as booked.

Getting ready for the day

  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
  • Leave space around the cooking area
  • Tell us when you want to eat

Diets, allergies and planning

We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:

  • Send us the running order and speech times
  • Book early for summer Saturdays
  • Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
  • Choose pan-side or table service

Fresh pans can be cooked for evening guests, generally timed after the first dance.

A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.

Before you choose a spot

Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

  • An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
  • Parking close enough to carry equipment
  • A safe distance from anything that could catch

As a London location, South Kenton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What we offer

  • Canapé tapas
  • Paella wedding breakfast
  • Dessert
  • Table tapas
  • Sangria & bar staff
