Live wedding paella catering in Halling
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Halling
We can add sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff, to suit the style of your day. On the menu are Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and evening paella, and we are regularly asked to cater parties after a register office wedding and big weddings with every diet.
Near Halling, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.
What’s in the pans
Evening paella
A second round of paella for the evening, served quickly so the party keeps going.
Canapé tapas

How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. In Halling, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.

Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. 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.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Pick a serving style
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
The pans are often set up where guests can see them, and it makes a great photo.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
What we offer
- Paella wedding breakfast
- Evening paella
- Canapé tapas
- Sangria & bar staff

Common questions in Halling
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater afterwards?
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. Send us the reception address.
Is Halling close to London?
About 25 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Do you cater in Halling?
We do. We cook at events in Halling and across Medway. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
