How our wedding paella catering works in Chilton Green
The smell of saffron and garlic drifting across a garden or barn gets guests excited about the meal. Popular choices include canapé tapas, evening paella and table tapas, and typical bookings are for wedding receptions after a small ceremony and weddings with lots of dietary needs.
Rural weddings around Chilton Green have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

FAQs for Chilton Green
We are having a ceremony at St Peter and St Paul's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook near the sea around Chilton Green?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on how it’s served.
Do you come to Chilton Green?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Chilton Green and the rest of the Isle of Wight. For a quote, use our quote form.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Do you offer tastings?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we’ll explain how it works.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us when speeches will be
Fresh pans can be cooked for evening guests, timed for after the first dance.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.
The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, sunset in Chilton Green is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- 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.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Tell us when you want to eat

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
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.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food vans can create long queues. Paella is served quickly to many guests. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why Chilton Green hosts choose us
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
