Wedding paella catering in Wembley
How our wedding paella catering works in Wembley
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. Popular choices include a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and we’re often booked for weddings with mixed diets and receptions after an intimate ceremony.
Couples in Wembley frequently marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. In London, parking and loading need planning early. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Planning a paella wedding in Wembley
Wembley is about 5 miles west of Hampstead, in Greater London. Across the HA9 area, we will come to your venue or garden. Wembley is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. Our events stretch from Wembley to London (10 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Northolt Manor (3.4 miles west) and Headstone Manor (3.5 miles north-west). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on caterers and live cooking. If you’re marrying at a church near Wembley, such as St Augustine, a reception in a garden, marquee or hired venue nearby keeps the day flowing: we can be cooking during the photos, so the meal is ready when you arrive.
Wherever your wedding is in HA9, HA0, HA1 and NW9, we can bring wedding paella catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Market Way, London Road and Queenscourt or a nearby road, we can cook there. Wembley sits on or near the A404 and A4088, so getting the burners and pans to your wedding is simple. We also cook at weddings in Wembley Park (1 mile east), Preston (1 mile north), Mapesbury (1 mile south-east), Tokyngton (1 mile south-east) and Stonebridge Park (1 mile south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (10 miles south-east), City of Westminster (7 miles south-east), Marylebone (7 miles south-east), Kensington (6 miles south-east), St Pancras (8 miles east) and Shoreditch (10 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include London Designer Outlet (0.5 miles south-east) and Middlesex (1.8 miles south-east). The countryside around Wembley includes Masons Field and Castlebar Hill.
- Schools near Wembley include Preston Manor School (within half a mile north-east)
- Pubs nearby include Hilton London Wembley pub (0.5 miles south-east)
Where we can cook in Wembley
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
Wembley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Wembley
What about parking in Wembley?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Could we have live paella in Preston Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
What if the timings change?
It happens. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it is ready when you are.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Wembley.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Of course. Include suppliers in your numbers.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on presentation and service.
Catering for every guest
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff, whichever suits your day.
Table tapas make a sociable starter.

How it works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. At midsummer, sunset in Wembley is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
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.
Live paella or other catering?
If you’re weighing up paella against a traditional menu, think about your venue, your guests’ diets and the feel of the day. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
