How our wedding paella catering works in Edenbridge
The smell of saffron and garlic drifting across a garden or barn gets guests excited about the meal long before it is served. We cook table tapas, Spanish desserts and a paella wedding breakfast, and we are regularly asked to cater big weddings with every diet and relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts.
Weddings in a place like Edenbridge frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. A huge pan on the lawn fits right in. Let us know about access for the van. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Paella covers them with separate pans. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

What we need at the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- A safe distance from anything that could catch

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Edenbridge, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.

- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.

What’s in the pans
Evening paella
Paella makes great evening food, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.
Canapé tapas
Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Connect us with your coordinator
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables, whichever suits your day.
Table tapas make a sociable starter.
FAQs for Edenbridge
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station should guests use for Edenbridge?
Edenbridge has its own station: Edenbridge Town station.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Just add them to your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
