About our wedding paella catering in Warren Street
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. For garden and marquee weddings and wedding receptions after a small ceremony, we will put together a menu of a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and Spanish desserts.
A wedding in a small place like Warren Street often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.
Step by step
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. Golden-hour photos in Warren Street at midsummer come around 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.

Questions from Warren Street
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Warren Street close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
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 offer halal options?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
We can. We can do canapés, tapas, the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
If you’re weighing up paella against a traditional menu, think about your venue, your guests’ diets and the feel of the day. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
