A wedding in a small place like Knockholt Pound often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

What else we do in Knockholt Pound
Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Knockholt Pound? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. In Knockholt Pound, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan each course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Canapé tapas
- Table tapas
- Dessert
- Evening paella
- Paella wedding breakfast
- Sangria & bar staff
Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Enquire early for peak dates
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we will adapt the timing so the paella is served at its best.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.

Can you cook in Polhill Bank?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
