Wedding paella catering in Silverhill, cooked live
Paella as evening food is popular: it’s hot, filling and quick to serve, so the party keeps going. We cook canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas, and we’re often booked for receptions after an intimate ceremony and weddings with a Spanish theme.
Weddings in a place like Silverhill often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. A giant pan on the lawn fits right in. Let us know about access for the van. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

The menu, dish by dish
Canapé tapas
One- and two-bite tapas on boards, ideal for the drinks reception.
Evening paella
A second round of paella for the evening, served quickly so the party keeps going.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
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.
Your questions about wedding paella catering in Silverhill
Which station should guests use for Silverhill?
The closest is St Leonards Warrior Square station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you work with our venue?
Yes. We’re happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.
How the day works
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. Golden-hour photos in Silverhill at midsummer come around 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
