Wedding paella catering in Southborough, cooked live
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. We are often asked to cater barn and farm weddings and big weddings with every diet, with Spanish desserts, table tapas and evening paella.
Couples in Southborough frequently marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. Plan parking and loading early. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.

Questions from Southborough
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Is parking a problem for events in Southborough?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Do you cover Southborough?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Southborough is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can we try the food first?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we will talk you through it.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from the drinks reception to the evening.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Compared with formal catering, live paella is relaxed and sociable, but with the right extras it feels just as special. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
