How our wedding paella catering works in Berwick
Paella as evening food is popular: it is hot, filling and quick to serve, so the party keeps going. We cook a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and evening paella, and we’re frequently booked for vow renewals and civil ceremonies and evening wedding food.
Near Berwick, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You will know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Why book with us
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- A clear, itemised quote
- Real theatre, not just catering

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Your questions about wedding paella catering in Berwick
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Berwick from London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you cater the whole day?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from the drinks reception to the evening.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.

Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
