Your questions about wedding paella catering in Ebbsfleet Valley
Can you cater a reception after a service at Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook in Castle Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
What if our speeches run late?
We plan for it. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it is ready when you are.
Is halal food available?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Book early for summer Saturdays
Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, timed for after the first dance.
Table tapas make a sociable starter.

How the day works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. Golden-hour photos in Ebbsfleet Valley at midsummer come around 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 7:00pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
