Wedding paella catering for Teynham events
DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Teynham
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Teynham?
Teynham has its own station: Teynham station.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Can paella feel formal?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on presentation and service.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
