About our wedding paella catering in Badger Farm
Paella as evening food is popular: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. We are frequently asked to cater evening food for extra guests and vow renewals and civil ceremonies, serving table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts.
A farm or garden wedding near Badger Farm suits live paella. We’ll need a level spot and a way to reach it. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
What affects the price in Badger Farm
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The length of service

The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. In Badger Farm, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans

Badger Farm questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Saint Luke?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Badger Farm close to London?
About 62 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you cover Badger Farm?
Yes, we do. Badger Farm is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Live paella or other catering?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
