Wedding paella catering in Wolverton
About our wedding paella catering in Wolverton
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts. On the menu are evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas, and we’re often booked for parties after a register office wedding and sharing-style wedding meals.
A wedding in a small place like Wolverton 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.
What’s in the pans
Paella wedding breakfast
The main event: paellas for every diet, served straight from the pan.
Evening paella
Evening paella is hot, filling and fun, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Who books wedding paella catering in Wolverton?

- Relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts
- Civil partnerships and vow renewals

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Wolverton
Is Wolverton close to London?
About 63 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cook near the sea around Wolverton?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
Yes. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.
Will you talk to our venue?
Of course. We will speak to your venue about access and timings.
What if photos overrun?
Tell us and we will adjust. We keep in touch with your venue on the day so the paella is served fresh.

What else we do in Wolverton
Planning a paella wedding in Wolverton
Wolverton is about 3 miles west of Dover, in Kent. Across the CT15 area, we’ll come to your venue or garden. We cover 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cook right across the region, from Wolverton to Canterbury (12 miles away).
For outdoor photos, Dover Western Heights is close by, and the countryside around Wolverton suits an outdoor reception. Couples marrying at local churches such as Church of St Anthony the Martyr often hold the reception nearby: we can be cooking during the photos, so it is ready as guests arrive. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 6 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Ask your venue about access and cooking rules. The sea is within about 4 miles, perfect for a seafood paella wedding. Coastal wind needs a sheltered cooking spot.
We cater weddings across CT15 and the streets around it. We can cater a wedding on streets such as Alkham Valley Road and Wolverton Hill or the roads around them. Other places close to Wolverton for wedding paella catering include Ewell Minnis (1 mile north-west), Alkham (1 mile south-west), Chalksole Green (1 mile west), South Alkham (1 mile south-west) and Kearsney (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (12 miles north-west), Dover (3 miles east), Folkestone (5 miles south-west), Deal (8 miles north-east), Hythe (8 miles south-west) and Tower Hamlets (3 miles east).

Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
We clear our cooking area away afterwards; any staff stay as long as agreed.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and feels more relaxed. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How many courses
- The number of people
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many adults and children
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
The process
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Golden-hour photos in Wolverton at midsummer come around 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
