Wedding paella catering in Kings Hill, cooked live
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. We cook canapé tapas, table tapas and Spanish desserts, and we’re regularly asked to cater informal wedding breakfasts and garden and marquee weddings.
Weddings in a place like Kings Hill frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. Paella cooked on the lawn suits that perfectly. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.
Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Kings Hill? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What affects the price in Kings Hill
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- How many guests are eating
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The length of service
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of the space, if you can
- The venue or postcode
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Diets and allergies you know about
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Dishes our guests love

FAQs for Kings Hill
Which station should guests use for Kings Hill?
West Malling station, about 1.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
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.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from canapés to evening food.

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Somewhere close to park and unload

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. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.

How it works
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a summer wedding in Kings Hill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm 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’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
