How our wedding paella catering works in Binley
We can add sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff, so the catering fits the way you want your day to feel. For blessings and vow renewals and barn and farm weddings, we’ll put together a menu of canapé tapas, table tapas and Spanish desserts.
A wedding in a small place like Binley 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. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, timed for after the first dance.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.

Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
What if photos overrun?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day so the paella is served fresh.
Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What’s in the pans

Evening paella
Evening paella is hot, filling and fun.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
A buffet can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.
Why us?
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Events in Binley and across Hampshire
- Live cooking, not reheated food

How we price wedding paella catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The paellas you choose
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- How many staff you need
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. For a summer wedding in Binley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- 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.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Leave space around the cooking area
