About our wedding paella catering in Biggin Hill
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous and celebratory. Typical bookings include evening wedding food and sharing-style wedding meals, with canapé tapas, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.
London weddings around Biggin Hill frequently mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. Plan parking and loading early. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Biggin Hill
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mark's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Biggin Hill for guests?
Woldingham station, about 3.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Do you cook inside?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes, it makes life easier. Put us in touch and we will agree the details.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How long we are needed on site
- Your choice of paellas
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Whether you need crockery
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Where the event is
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Roughly how many adults and children
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s served at its best. For a summer wedding in Biggin Hill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

About the dishes

Is live paella right for your wedding?

Why us?
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
As a London location, Biggin Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
