About our wedding paella catering in Tangley
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, so the catering fits the way you want your day to feel. Typical bookings include vow renewals and civil ceremonies and weddings in a marquee or garden, with table tapas, evening paella and canapé tapas.
A wedding in a small place like Tangley frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Catering for every guest
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
We clear our cooking area away afterwards; staff you’ve booked stay as agreed.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.

Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls

- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s served at its best. In Tangley, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- First, we check 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, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Ensure we can park close by to unload

What affects the price in Tangley
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many guests are eating
- Whether you need crockery
- The paellas you choose
- Parking and unloading
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Getting an accurate quote

Tangley questions
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Thomas of Canterbury: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Tangley too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
What about supplier meals?
Just add them to your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
What if our speeches run late?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day and time the rice so it is served at its best.
The menu, dish by dish
Paella wedding breakfast
Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables, with bread and salad.
Table tapas
Tapas set out on every table to share, from bravas to croquetas and Manchego.
Why choose live paella in Tangley?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
