Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Boughton Corner
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts. For evening wedding food and receptions after an intimate ceremony, we can cook table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas for your guests.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Boughton Corner, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.
Why choose live paella in Boughton Corner?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and feels more relaxed. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why us?
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Catering across Kent, including Boughton Corner
- Hot food served quickly from the pan

How the day works
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. For a summer wedding in Boughton Corner, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Boughton Corner
We are having a ceremony at All Saints’ Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Boughton Corner from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
Do you come to Boughton Corner?
Yes, we do. Boughton Corner is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
