Why choose wedding paella catering in Satmar?
Paella feels relaxed and generous, which is why couples choose it, and guests talk about it afterwards.
Live paella works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:
- Spanish-themed and destination-style weddings
- Barn and farm weddings
- Garden and marquee weddings
- Parties after a register office wedding
Couples marrying at local churches such as St Mary's Church frequently hold the reception nearby: the paella can be cooking while you have photos taken, so the meal is ready when you arrive.

Wedding paella catering in Satmar, cooked live
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. We are often asked to cater weddings with lots of dietary needs and wedding receptions after a small ceremony, serving evening paella, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
Rural weddings around Satmar have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan.
Planning the cooking area
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Somewhere close to park and unload

Common questions in Satmar
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on presentation and service.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a price.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. At midsummer, sunset in Satmar 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.
