Wedding paella catering in Broom Street, made fresh on the day

A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. Whether it is evening food for extra guests and weddings with a Spanish theme, we can cook canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and table tapas for your guests.

Rural weddings around Broom Street have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Broom Street: your questions answered

Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Saints?

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.

Is Broom Street too small for live paella?

No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

Can you cook in the rain?

We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.

How much does wedding paella catering cost in Broom Street?

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.

Which areas do you serve?

We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.

Can you supply plates?

Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.

How long does the paella take?

We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.

Organising for someone else?

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Broom Street? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.

12 questions to ask before you book

Is live paella right for your wedding?

Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella is served hot from the pan when guests are ready. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.

Why book with us

  • Served hot, straight from the pan
  • Everything cooked fresh at your event
  • Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
  • Catering across Kent, including Broom Street

See Our prices page Or What paella catering costs.

How we price wedding paella catering

Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • How long we are needed on site
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • The paellas you choose
  • Whether you need crockery

Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Details that help

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:

  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • A picture of where we’d cook
  • The date and rough timings
  • The venue or postcode

Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
