Wedding paella catering in Almodington, made fresh on the day
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. On the menu are a paella wedding breakfast, evening paella and table tapas, and typical bookings are for receptions after an intimate ceremony and civil partnerships and vow renewals.
A wedding in a small place like Almodington often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

FAQs for Almodington
Can you cater a reception after a service at Earnley Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

About 59 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you provide drinks?

Do you cater in Almodington?

Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.

Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on presentation and service.
Can you supply plates?

Why choose live paella in Almodington?
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Paella covers them with separate pans. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Pick a serving style
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
On the day, we liaise with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you do not have to.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.
DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, sunset in Almodington is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
