Wedding paella catering for Durrant Green events
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Your choice of paellas
- Waiting and bar staff
- Distance and access to the venue
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What to tell us
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- What the venue already provides
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can use our quote form.

DIY paella versus live catering
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. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff.
Sangria and bar staff can be added.
Durrant Green questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Durrant Green?
Pluckley station, about 4.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
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.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes. We will speak to your venue about access and timings.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why Durrant Green hosts choose us
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- A quote that spells everything out
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Events in Durrant Green and across Kent
