Wedding paella catering in Perry
Wedding paella catering in Perry, cooked live
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 a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and evening paella, and we are regularly asked to cater wedding receptions after a small ceremony and informal wedding breakfasts.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Perry, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Your questions about wedding paella catering in Perry
Which station should guests use for Perry?
Adisham station, about 3.6 miles south-west of the centre.
How far is Perry from London?
About 59 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What if photos overrun?
We adapt. We stay in touch with your coordinator and time the rice so it is served at its best.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Put us in touch and we’ll agree the details.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Do you cover Perry?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Perry and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
For event organisers in Perry
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Perry, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.

Planning help
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Compared with formal catering, live paella is relaxed and sociable, but with the right extras it feels just as special. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
