Wedding Paella Catering across Kent

How wedding paella catering works in Kent

Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: each paella has its own pan, so every guest gets a proper hot main. Typical bookings include sharing-style wedding meals and destination-style celebrations at home, serving evening paella, canapé tapas and table tapas.

Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down.

  1. Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
  2. We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
  3. Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
  4. On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
  5. We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.

Getting married in Kent

Weddings across Kent range from town venues in Maidstone, Ashford and Canterbury to barns, marquees and gardens in 767 villages and hamlets. Live paella is especially at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings. The Kent Downs National Landscape and the High Weald National Landscape are within easy reach of places across Kent, so check venue rules on vehicles and cooking for countryside events. 219 of the places we cover in Kent are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always plan shelter from the wind, and seafood paella is popular.

Maidstone: Planning photos in River Len LNR? It is worth checking the park’s rules first. Put the station on your invitation: Maidstone West station is about 0.6 miles away. At midsummer, sunset in Maidstone is about 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.

Who books wedding paella catering?

Couples choose paella because it feels relaxed and generous, and because guests remember it.

Here are some of the events we cook for in Kent and Kent:

  • Weddings in a marquee or garden
  • Barn and farm weddings
  • Destination-style celebrations at home
  • Big weddings with every diet

Is live paella right for you?

A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and suits a relaxed style.

The menu, dish by dish

Evening paella

Paella makes great evening food, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.

Canapé tapas

Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal, without spoiling appetites.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

What we need at the venue

No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans

Kent questions

How many paellas should we have?

Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.

Do you do desserts?

Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.

Do you offer halal options?

We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.

Do you cook inside?

Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

What about supplier meals?

Yes. Include suppliers in your numbers and we’ll plan for them.

What happens if it rains?

We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.

How much paella per person?

We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
