About our wedding paella catering in Ebbsfleet
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. Typical bookings include receptions after an intimate ceremony and weddings with lots of dietary needs, serving evening paella, table tapas and Spanish desserts.
A wedding in a small place like Ebbsfleet often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. In Ebbsfleet, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.

- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.

Historic houses near Ebbsfleet include Quex Park (3.8 miles north). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on caterers and live cooking.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:

Paella compared with other options
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and feels more relaxed. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
