How our wedding paella catering works in Church Street
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. Popular choices include table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas, and we are often booked for parties after a register office wedding and weddings in a marquee or garden.
Near Church Street, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Church Street
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mary'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.
Is Church Street too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Do you offer tastings?
Tell us you’d like a tasting when you enquire, and we will talk you through it.
Do you cover Church Street?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Church Street and across Medway. Send us your date to check availability.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
