How our wedding paella catering works in Brasted Chart
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous and celebratory. Whether it is wedding receptions after a small ceremony and vow renewals and civil ceremonies, we will put together a menu of canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts.
For a wedding in Brasted Chart, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. Paella can be cooking while they’re on the move, ready to serve on arrival. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

About the dishes
Paella wedding breakfast
The main event: paellas for every diet, served straight from the pan.
Desserts
Churros with chocolate, crema catalana or tarta de Santiago, or your cake as dessert.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Your questions about wedding paella catering in Brasted Chart
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 follow the site rules.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Martin: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you offer tastings?
Ask us about tastings when you get in touch.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you cover Brasted Chart?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Brasted Chart is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
What if photos overrun?
Tell us and we’ll adjust. We stay in touch with your coordinator and time the rice so it is served at its best.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
