Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Bramshott Chase
The smell of saffron and garlic drifting across a garden or barn has everyone looking forward to dinner long before it’s served. For weddings with mixed diets and garden and marquee weddings, we’ll put together a menu of table tapas, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas and more.
A wedding in a small place like Bramshott Chase frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
- Enquire early for peak dates
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
If things run late, and we’ll adjust the cooking so the paella is served at its best.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls

For event organisers in Bramshott Chase
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella goes straight from pan to plate when guests are ready. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Catering across Surrey, including Bramshott Chase
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan

DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
