Wedding paella catering in Eyhorne Street, cooked live

Common questions in Eyhorne Street
Can you cater a reception after a service at All Saints Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
What if our speeches run late?
It happens. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it is served at its best.
Can we have a tasting?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we’ll explain how it works.

Desserts
To finish: churros, crema catalana or your wedding cake.
Canapé tapas
One- and two-bite tapas on boards, ideal for the drinks reception.
Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Enquire early for peak dates
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, timed for after the first dance.
Sangria and bar staff can be added.

DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
