Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Questions from Wildmoor
How far is Wildmoor from London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St. Leonard: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you come to Wildmoor?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Wildmoor is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

The process
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. A summer drinks reception in Wildmoor has daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, perfect for canapés outdoors. In late September, sunset is about 7:10pm; winter receptions, dark by 4:00pm, are better indoors.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and serving style.
- You get a suggested selection and a price.
- On the day we arrive, set up and finish the hot tapas on site.
- Canapés go round with the drinks, or table tapas go out to share.
- We pack down when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
