How our wedding paella catering works in Bekesbourne Hill
Paella has a natural rhythm: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it’s best served right away. We plan it around your speeches and photos. Typical bookings include vow renewals and civil ceremonies and evening wedding food, with evening paella, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.
A wedding in a small place like Bekesbourne Hill frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.

- Count day and evening guests separately
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Pick a serving style
Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, generally timed after the first dance.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
