Wedding paella catering in Boorley Green, made fresh on the day
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. We are often asked to cater rustic barn weddings and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings, serving Spanish desserts, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.
For a smaller place like Boorley Green, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level ground and access. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s served at its best. Golden-hour photos in Boorley Green at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.

Common questions in Boorley Green
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Luke's Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Boorley Green?
Hedge End station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Do you offer tastings?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we will explain how it works.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
What if photos overrun?
It happens. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it is served at its best.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
