Wedding paella catering for Sevington events
Wedding paella catering in Sevington, cooked live
Timing is everything with paella: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it’s best served right away. We time it around your speeches and photos. We cook evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas, and we’re often booked for weddings with a Spanish theme and weddings with mixed diets.
Rural weddings around Sevington have a magic of their own, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. Golden-hour photos in Sevington at midsummer come around 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Share the running order, including any speeches
How to get a price
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
What affects the price in Sevington
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need crockery
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Anything your venue supplies
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The venue or postcode
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: give us the basics about your wedding, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, fill in our quote form.
Dishes our guests love
Canapé tapas
Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal.

Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables, with bread and salad.
Planners, venues and businesses

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Pick a serving style
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
We typically set up where guests can watch, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
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 be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Sevington questions
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Sevington?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you cover Sevington?
We do. Sevington is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
What about supplier meals?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
