For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
What affects the price in Wildhern
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Timings and hours
- The number of people
- Waiting and bar staff
- Parking and unloading
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Which courses you have in mind
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. At midsummer, events in Wildhern stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

FAQs for Wildhern
Do you trade at school fairs around Wildhern?

Which station should guests use for Wildhern?
Andover station, about 3.1 miles south of the centre.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Is there a vegan option?
Yes, always. There’s a vegan pan next to the others.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Do you do crew catering?
We can. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
What paperwork do you provide?
Share your trader requirements.
Is live paella right for your event?
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A paella stall can have a vegan pan alongside the rest. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
