Wedding paella catering in Broxhill, made fresh on the day
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: every paella is cooked separately, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. We cook a paella wedding breakfast, evening paella and Spanish desserts, and we’re regularly asked to cater weddings in a marquee or garden and parties after a register office wedding.
There is something special about a country wedding near Broxhill, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of people
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How many courses
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The date and rough timings
- Which courses you have in mind
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Broxhill questions
Is Broxhill 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.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What if the timings change?
It happens. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it is served at its best.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from the drinks reception to the evening.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Can we try the food first?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we will talk you through it.
Do you cover Broxhill?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Broxhill and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
If you’re weighing up paella against a traditional menu, think about your venue, your guests’ diets and the feel of the day. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. At midsummer, sunset in Broxhill is about 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Preparing for the day
