Wedding paella catering for Camber events
About our wedding paella catering in Camber
We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. Whether it is receptions after an intimate ceremony and weddings with mixed diets, we’ll put together a menu of table tapas, evening paella and canapé tapas.
Near Camber, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Common questions in Camber
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Thomas the Apostle?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, East Sussex included. See all areas.

The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
How the day works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. Golden-hour photos in Camber at midsummer come around 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
Before we arrive

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. 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.
