Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Crowdhill
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. On the menu are canapé tapas, evening paella and Spanish desserts, and typical bookings are for rustic barn weddings and sharing-style wedding meals.
There is something special about a country wedding near Crowdhill, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Crowdhill: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Crowdhill?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is halal food available?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
What if the timings change?
We plan for it. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it is ready when you are.
Do you come to Crowdhill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Crowdhill and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
