About our wedding paella catering in North Street
Paella as evening food is popular: it is hot, filling and quick to serve, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. Popular choices include canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts, and we are often booked for wedding receptions after a small ceremony and weddings with a Spanish theme.
There is something special about a country wedding near North Street, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Put us in touch with your venue
If things run late, and we will adapt the timing so the paella is served at its best.
Table tapas make a sociable starter.
Common questions in North Street
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can we try the food first?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain the options.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Introduce us and we will sort the details.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Space, weather and the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site

How it works
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. At midsummer, sunset in North Street is about 9:15pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.

Weddings in North Street: venues, ceremonies and travel
North Street is about 2 miles south of Faversham, in Kent. Whether your wedding is in the middle of North Street or on the outskirts, wedding paella catering works the same way: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. North Street is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we cook. We cook right across the region, from North Street to Canterbury (about 8 miles away).
Put the station on your invitation: Faversham station is about 1.8 miles away. Nearby historic houses include Belmont House and Gardens (2 miles south-west).

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- The length of service
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Parking and unloading
- Whether you need crockery
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The date and time of the event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Where the event is
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can use our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
