Wedding paella catering in Robertsbridge, cooked live
Timing is everything with paella: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it is best served straight away. We time it around your speeches and photos. We’re often asked to cater sharing-style wedding meals and destination-style celebrations at home, serving canapé tapas, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.
A wedding in a small place like Robertsbridge frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

The process
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. In Robertsbridge, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We check availability for 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 and clear our cooking area.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Common questions in Robertsbridge
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
We are having a ceremony at Robertsbridge United Reformed Church: can you cater afterwards?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
