DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Langton Green
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. Whether it’s sharing-style wedding meals and weddings in a marquee or garden, we can cook canapé tapas, table tapas and Spanish desserts.
Weddings in a place like Langton Green frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. A huge pan on the lawn fits right in. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Choose pan-side or table service
The pans are frequently set up where guests can see them, and it makes a great photo.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?

Is paella smart enough for a wedding?

Is live paella right for your wedding?
Choosing between paella and a traditional menu?, think about your venue, your guests’ diets and the feel of the day. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why choose Love Paella in Langton Green

How we price wedding paella catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- Parking and unloading
- Your choice of paellas
- Waiting and bar staff
- The number of people
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Which courses you have in mind
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and time of the event
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

Planning a paella wedding in Langton Green
Langton Green is about 2 miles west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. From the centre of Langton Green to the outskirts, wedding paella catering works the same way: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. Langton Green is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cook right across the region, from Langton Green to Brighton (about 26 miles away).
Couples marrying at local churches such as Church of All Saints often hold the reception nearby: the paella can be cooking while you have photos taken, so it is ready as guests arrive.

With the High Weald National Landscape within about 8 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Check vehicle access and cooking rules with the venue.

How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For a summer wedding in Langton Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
