Wedding paella catering for your wedding in East Wickham
Saffron and garlic in the air gets guests excited about the meal. Whether it is blessings and vow renewals and big weddings with every diet, we can cook canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella and more.
Couples in East Wickham frequently marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. In London, parking and loading need planning early. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Share your running order, including speeches
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff, whichever suits your day.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Separate paella pans cover every diet. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Fast service from the pan
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu

The process
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. At midsummer, sunset in East Wickham is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Questions from East Wickham
Is parking a problem for events in East Wickham?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mary the Virgin?
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.
Can you cook indoors?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
