About our wedding paella catering in Teynham Street
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. On the menu are evening paella, table tapas and canapé tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater civil partnerships and vow renewals and sharing-style wedding meals.
A wedding in a small place like Teynham Street often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
If things run late, and we will adjust the cooking so the paella is served at its best.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
How we price wedding paella catering
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Your choice of paellas
- How many guests are eating
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Your date and when you want to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Common questions in Teynham Street
Which station should guests use for Teynham Street?
Teynham station, about 0.8 miles south-west of the centre.
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. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
What about supplier meals?
Yes. Add your suppliers to the final numbers.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
What we need at the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

The process

In Teynham Street, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
