If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Common questions in Broughton Crossing
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Broughton Crossing too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you offer tastings?
Ask us about tastings when you get in touch.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Broughton Crossing.
The process
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. In Broughton Crossing, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Why choose wedding paella catering in Broughton Crossing?
Mixed diets are easy, which matters at weddings with lots of guests.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Marquee and garden weddings
- Civil partnerships and vow renewals
- Wedding receptions after a small ceremony
- Weddings with mixed diets
Haddington Hill nearby makes a lovely backdrop for photos, and the countryside around Broughton Crossing suits an outdoor reception.

- Whether VAT is included
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
