About our wedding paella catering in Willesden Green
Evening paella is a favourite: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so the party keeps going. We cook a paella wedding breakfast, evening paella and Spanish desserts, and typical bookings are for weddings with mixed diets and garden and marquee weddings.
For a wedding in Willesden Green, 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. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.

Step by step
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you are free to enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. In Willesden Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
