Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

FAQs for Frogham
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.

What else we do in Frogham
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Frogham, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
