How our wedding paella catering works in West Farleigh
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. For weddings with mixed diets and wedding receptions after a small ceremony, we can cook table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas and more.
Rural weddings around West Farleigh have a magic of their own, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
How we price wedding paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need crockery
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many courses
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and rough timings
- A picture of where we’d cook
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Why choose live paella in West Farleigh?
Compared with formal catering, live paella is relaxed and sociable, but with the right extras it feels just as special. Larger events normally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why book with us
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Events in West Farleigh and across Kent
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
See Our prices page And The cost guide.
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you’re free to enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. In West Farleigh, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Leave space around the cooking area

Your questions about wedding paella catering in West Farleigh
Can you cook in Quarry Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
How far is West Farleigh from London?
About 29 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
What if our speeches run late?
We plan for it. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it is ready when you are.
Do you work with our venue?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Put us in touch and we will agree the details.
