How our wedding paella catering works in Romney Street
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. Popular choices include table tapas, evening paella and Spanish desserts, and we are regularly asked to cater food for evening guests and blessings and vow renewals.
Rural weddings around Romney Street have a magic of their own, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
Where we can cook in Romney Street
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
- Level ground for the pans and burners
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Live paella or other catering?
Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. In Romney Street, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is 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.
How to prepare
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

Can you cook at venues 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 we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.

We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
